Request for enhancement

In some contexts, filesystem mounts may be owned by unmapped users
(e.g. emptyDir mounts in Kubernetes / OpenShift when using user
namespaces). This causes systemd-tmpfiles(8) to fail, as a
consequence of systemd's path processing routines which reject this
scenario. systemd-tmpfiles "clones" exist and and can be used instead of
systemd-tmpfiles. But beacuse the FreeIPA installer invokes /bin/systemd-tmpfiles
directly, it is necessary to provide a mechanism (e.g. via environment variable) to
specify that a different program should be used.

The feature can be restricted to the Fedora and RHEL container platform modules.
