APIv2: container list limit handling seems to differ from docker-API

[rsommer]

Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description

While trying out podman API with traefik, I came across differences in API behaviour:

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. podman --log-level debug system service -t 0
2. podman run nginx
3. curl -s --unix-socket /var/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock "http://v1.24/containers/json?limit=0" (which is what is requested using the docker client used by traefik)
   This yields an empty array '[]', using 'limit=1', you'll get the expected container

On the other hand:

1. Start docker daemon
2. docker run nginx
3. curl -s --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock "http://v1.24/containers/json?limit=0"

Describe the results you received:
podman API yields an empty array using the same API call, while docker returns a list of containers.

Describe the results you expected:
I would expect the same behaviour due to API-compatibility.
