Need to document the LocalRegistry MSBuild property for SDK container publish

[baronfel]

Type of issue

Missing information

Description

The LocalRegistry MSBuild property allows users to control which local container tooling they use when pushing to local sources. Currently it can be set to either Docker or Podman, and if the property is not set at all, the SDK will probe for the presence of docker or podman tooling.

Since it's common for podman tooling to be registered as docker (since they share may of the same commands), the SDK does a bit of probing to determine which tool to use. The algorithm is:

IF  'docker' and 'podman' both exist AND 'docker' is just an alias for 'podman' THEN use 'podman'
ELSE if 'docker' exists THEN use 'docker'
ELSE if 'podman' exists THEN use 'podman'
ELSE error
