Add missing --ignore flag example to podman-rm man page

This PR addresses the missing example for the --ignore flag in the podman rm
command documentation. The --ignore flag is particularly useful for scripting
scenarios where containers may or may not exist.

Added example shows:

  • How to use --ignore when removing multiple containers
  • Demonstrates that the command succeeds even when some containers don't exist
  • Shows expected output when containers are successfully removed

The --ignore flag prevents errors when trying to remove non-existent containers,
making it valuable for automation scripts and cleanup operations where container
existence is uncertain.

Before this change, users could see the --ignore flag was available in the
OPTIONS section but had no practical example of how to use it effectively.

This improvement helps users understand when and how to use the --ignore flag
for more robust container management scripts.

Fixes: #26369
