Update README.md with accurate default values from defaults/main.yml

- Add missing packages to docker_packages: containerd.io and docker-buildx-plugin
- Add docker_apt_ansible_distribution variable documentation
- Update docker_apt_gpg_key to reference docker_apt_ansible_distribution
- Show actual defaults for docker_users (empty list) and docker_daemon_options (empty dict)
- Move examples to separate code blocks for clarity

`docker_apt_ansible_distribution` is a workaround for Ubuntu variants which can't be identified as such by Ansible, and is only necessary until Docker officially supports them.
You can change `docker_apt_gpg_key` to a different url if you are behind a firewall or provide a trustworthy mirror.
`docker_apt_filename` controls the name of the source list file created in `sources.list.d`. If you are upgrading from an older (<7.0.0) version of this role, you should change this to the name of the existing file (e.g. `download_docker_com_linux_debian` on Debian) to avoid conflicting lists.

## Use with Ansible (and `docker` Python library)
Many users of this role wish to also use Ansible to then _build_ Docker images and manage Docker containers on the server where Docker is installed. In this case, you can easily add in the `docker` Python library using the `geerlingguy.pip` role:
