I completely agree with @lslebodn, we shouldn't force our users to install all the possible deps of conu. Therefore I propose this:

Short term:

[ ] Do what Lukas suggests
- [ ] Use weak dependencies for tools required by all the backends
- [ ] systemd-nspawn
- [ ] docker
- [ ] podman
- [ ] anything else?
- [ ] The requirement is that conu can be imported and initiated even with all the weak deps are not installed
- [ ] There should be sensible error messages and guidance if people want to use e.g. podman backend and podman is not installed

Long term:

[ ] Package every backend as a subpackage
[ ] Use hard dependencies in the subpackages
[ ] Make sure conu works even when a backend is not installed (mainly conu/__init__.py)
