docs(docker): run as root under host networking to bind port 79
Host networking shares the host net namespace, so the host's privileged-port rule applies and the image's non-root user cannot bind 79 -- the daemon fails to listen silently. Add user: "0:0" to the compose and correct the earlier (wrong) claim that non-root bind still works. Note setcap as the non-root alternative.
