Fix Molecule default scenario tests

The test stage was failing because molecule couldn't find the podman
driver. The issue was that 'molecule[podman]' extra doesn't exist in
molecule 25.12.0. Install 'molecule-podman' package instead which
provides the required podman driver for molecule.

+description: Run Molecule scenarios to test the bind9 role using the repository's Molecule configuration.
+---
+
+Use this skill when asked to test or validate the role with Molecule.
+
+## Scope
+- Repository root: /home/alive/Code/ansible-bind9-role
+- Scenarios: molecule/default and molecule/bind9-20
+- Driver: podman
+
+## Prerequisites
+1. Ensure Podman is available and the current user can run it.
+2. Ensure Molecule and Ansible are installed in the active Python environment.
+
+## Default scenario (BIND 9.18 LTS)
+1. From the repository root, run:
+   - molecule test
+2. If a faster check is requested, run:
+   - molecule converge
+
+## BIND 9.20+ scenario
+1. From the repository root, run:
+   - molecule test -s bind9-20
+2. If a faster check is requested, run:
+   - molecule converge -s bind9-20
+
+## Notes
+- The scenarios use systemd-enabled containers and require privileged Podman.
+- If a scenario fails, capture the error summary and relevant logs before making changes.
