Improves the Docker daemon troubleshooting in the quickstart and Docker install docs:

  • Renames the quickstart entry from "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon on Linux" to cover all platforms.
  • Adds a plain-English explanation of what the error means (Docker is not installed or not running).
  • Adds tabbed macOS/Linux/Windows instructions to the quickstart (macOS and Windows were missing).
  • Simplifies the Linux steps to match what Step 1 of the quickstart already teaches.
  • Adds a matching entry to docs/install/docker.md with a cross-link to the quickstart for platform-specific steps.

Supersedes #24907 which was closed without merging.

For some reason, GitHub won't let me add comments, and I had one nit on this doc, but I'll fix it in the other work I'm doing in #24904. LGTM! :shipit: 🚀
