fix(docker): run API container as root for Docker socket access

The API container needs to run docker compose commands via the
mounted Docker socket. Running as non-root user doesn't work well
with socket permissions across container boundaries.

- Remove USER appuser from Dockerfile (API service only)
- Remove group_add from docker-compose (no longer needed)
- Add security note about considering Docker-in-Docker or rootless

This fixes:
permission denied while trying to connect to the docker API at unix:///var/run/docker.sock
