Support for foremanctl #4189
Description
sos report should collect data from foremanctl, a foreman deployment using Podman and Ansible. I am planning to implement a sos plugin for it, but I have a dilema.
My original plan was to follow same approach we did with aap_containerized plugin, where one plugin replaces several other aap_* plugins. But foremanctl puts into containers stuff being collected by quite different plugins foreman (but NOT foreman-proxy), candlepin and pulpcore, plus "supporting" plugins for redis and postgresql. Having one foremanctl plugin might hunt too many different tails, plus the plugin run time might be quite big (pulpcore and foreman plugins are usually lengthy to run).
An alternative is to enhance the current plugins to support their containerised deployments. But that is not great either: it would add complexity to the current plugins' code (esp. foreman one).
As a reference, here is the list of containers under a freshly installed foremanctl:

What are your thoughts: have a new foremanctl plugin or enhance the current ones?
