Looks good overall, I proposed several improvements.

docker-compose shows colored logs by default. Podman prints monochrome logs unless you explicitly ask for color. podman-compose adds the `--color` option to every podman "logs" command, unless the user has asked for no color with the flag `--no-color`. This keeps the behaviour consistent with docker-compose. Signed-off-by: Monika Kairaityte <monika@kibit.lt>
Instead of using containerID, log line now begins with a formatted service name. When `--no-log-prefix` flag is used, only server logs are printed, omitting the server name prefix. Relevant docker-compose documentation: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/logs/ Signed-off-by: Monika Kairaityte <monika@kibit.lt>

logscommand now displays short service names in color by default (the project-name prefix has been removed). An option has been added to either render service names in monochrome or omit them entirely.This update improves compatibility of the
logscommand withdocker-compose. For relevant documentation, see: https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/docker/compose/logs/Fixes: #1355, #111.
