utils: use podman-pause-$RANDOM.scope name

[Backport of containers#12323 into v3.4, to fix gating-test flakes]

we try hard to re-use the existing podman-pause.scope name when it
already exists, causing any sort of race errors when the already
existing scope is terminating.

There is no such a requirement though, so just try with a random
name.

Closes: containers#12065

[NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] it fixes a race in the CI
