Fix Watchtower crash-loop on newer Docker engines: add DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.44
Watchtower 1.7.1's embedded Docker client negotiates API version 1.25, which
newer Docker daemons (TrueNAS SCALE, Docker Desktop 4.x+) reject with:
"client version 1.25 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.44"
This causes Watchtower to crash-loop immediately on startup, meaning auto-updates
never run. Setting DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.44 as an environment variable forces the
client to negotiate at the correct version.
Added the env var to both compose examples in the README (the generic compose
block and the TrueNAS-specific block), plus an explanatory note so users know
why it's there if they encounter the error.
