chore: replace Docker Desktop references with open-source alternatives

Browse source 
Docker Desktop requires a commercial licence for business use. Replace all
references with free alternatives:
- macOS: Rancher Desktop (GUI) or Colima (CLI)
- Linux: Docker Engine CE (no Desktop needed at all)
- Windows: Rancher Desktop or WSL2 + Docker Engine

setup.sh detects the OS and shows platform-specific install instructions.
claude.sh defers to setup.sh for install hints to avoid duplication.
README documents all options including a WSL2 setup walkthrough.
