Cherry-pick #92 to the cni-0.x branch.
Add a new InitCNINoInotify function to allow the use of OCICNI without
the use of inotify.
For some workloads it is not required to watch the cni config directory.
With podman v3.2 we started using OCICNI for rootless users as well.
However the use of inotify is restricted by sysctl values
(fs.inotify.max_user_instances and fs.inotify.max_user_watches).
By default only 128 processes can use inotify.
Since this limit is easy to reach and inotify is not required for our
use case it would be great to have this option to disable it.
