Update README.md

Clarifies specifics about skipping Docker in Rails 7 because Rails 7 now generates a production Dockerfile that makes using Docker/Docker Compose in local development challenging.  The steps included in this document are only sufficient for Rails & Docker Compose in a development environment for Rails 7. (In order to run as-is with the production dockerfile, more steps are necessary for the compose, including passing the master key, etc.)

using [docker compose run](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/compose_run/):
```console
# rails 6
$ docker compose run --no-deps web rails new . --force --database=postgresql
# rails 7 - without skip flag, generates a production dockerfile that isn't suitable for local development
$ docker compose run --no-deps web rails new . --force --database=postgresql --skip-docker
```
First, Compose builds the image for the `web` service using the `Dockerfile`.
