Description

Hi,

It seems for now --entrypoint=argument can only specify a single argument string. It would be cool if we were able to specify a multiple arguments json array, like in a Dockerfile. Podman already supports this json array syntax.

Reproduce

> docker run -t -i --rm --entrypoint='["python3","--version"]'  quay.io/fedora/fedora
docker: Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "[\"python3\",\"--version\"]": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown.

Expected behavior

It works fine (ie runs python3 --version like it does with podman:

> podman run -t -i --rm --entrypoint='["python3","--version"]'  quay.io/fedora/fedora
Python 3.12.0
