Two podman machines can be run at the same time on macos #25112
Description
Issue Description
It seems that currently it's possible to two two podman machines running at the same time on macos if the machines are of different types (e.g. one applehv and one libkrun), normally podman does not support running multiple podman machines simultaneously on macos.

Steps to reproduce the issue
- Install podman 5.3.2 version on macos.
- Create a podman machine of type applehv and start it.
- Reconfigure podman to create libkrun podman machine.
- Create a second podman machine of type libkrun with a different name from machine from step 2 and start it also.
- Notice that no error is thrown and both machines are operational at the same time.
