Be more informative about reasons for using Docker (#28)
People who are considering running Certbot with Docker are probably doing so because their webserver is to be run with Docker. These changes to the README should help them to understand that doing so will require knowledge of Docker volumes and that the architectural justification for running Certbot in a separate container is the "one service per container" best practice.
