Remove Docker, add server migration checklist to readme

Browse source 
- Remove virtualisation.docker.enable (no longer used after native
  migration of Authelia, go2rtc, and nginx)
- Add migration checklist documenting which state directories and
  secrets to back up when moving to new hardware

## Migrating to a new server
When moving FredOS-Mediaserver to new hardware, back up these state directories from the old server:
```bash
# Service databases and config (stop services first)
/var/lib/jellyfin/ # Library database, users, metadata, API keys
/var/lib/sonarr/ # TV library database, config.xml (API key)
/var/lib/radarr/ # Movie library database, config.xml (API key)
/var/lib/prowlarr/ # Indexer database, config.xml (API key)
/var/lib/bazarr/ # Subtitle database and config
/var/lib/qbittorrent/ # Torrent client config and state
/var/lib/authelia-main/ # User database and session storage
# Secrets
/var/secrets/ # Cloudflare token, go2rtc RTSP URL, Authelia secrets
# Media files
/mnt/storage/ # The mergerfs pool (torrents, media libraries, audiobooks)
```
Steps:
1. Install NixOS on the new server
2. Create `hosts/hardware/FredOS-Mediaserver.nix` from the new `/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix` (new disk UUIDs, bootloader config)
3. Set up the mergerfs pool and mount at `/mnt/storage`
4. Restore `/var/secrets/` (see Mediaserver secrets section above)
5. Run `sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake github:ediblerope/nixos-config#FredOS-Mediaserver`
6. Stop all services, restore the `/var/lib/` directories listed above, then start services
7. Update Cloudflare DNS if the server's public IP changed
If starting fresh instead of migrating, the services will self-initialize with empty databases. You'll need to redo initial setup in each web UI (add media libraries in Jellyfin, set root folders in Sonarr/Radarr, configure qBittorrent download paths, etc.). The `arr-interconnect` service will auto-wire the connections between them.
