docs: generate markdown Keep frontmatter for docker, dockerd and index markdown files.

			`## Description`

docs: fix, and touch-up "docker context" docs Using `/var/run/docker.sock` as docker host is invalid, and causes an error, so adding `unix://` to it. In addition, we document the name of the context to go after the options, so change the order in the examples.
