set env variables to execute commands

before executing any action we need to update the environment variables
PODMAN_CONNECTIONS_CONF, PODMAN_DATA_DIR and PODMAN_RUNTIME_DIR to
define a specific location where to store macadam data. This way we
prevent to write macadam stuff within podman-related folders
