What this PR does / why we need it:
The current implementation of the CNI network interface only loads the
networks on the first call and saves them in a map. This is done to safe
performance and not having to reload all configs every time which will be
costly for many networks.
The problem with this approach is that if a network is created by
another process it will not be picked up by the already running podman
process. This is not a problem for the short lived podman commands but
it is problematic for the podman service.
To make sure we always have the actual networks store the mtime of the
config directory. If it changed since the last read we have to read
again.
How to verify it
start the podman service, list the networks via api, create a network via podman network create, list the networks via api again
