Teknium a1bed18194 docs: clarify that the Docker terminal backend is a single persistent container (#20003)
The docs were ambiguous about whether the Docker terminal backend spins up
a fresh container per command or reuses a long-lived one. It's the latter
— Hermes starts one container on first use and routes every terminal,
file, and execute_code call through docker exec into that same container
for the life of the process (across /new, /reset, and delegate_task
subagents). Working-directory changes, installed packages, and files in
/workspace persist from one tool call to the next, like a local shell.

- configuration.md: lead the Docker Backend section with the persistence
  model before the YAML example; sharpen the Backend Overview table row.
- features/tools.md: expand the Docker Backend block (previously just a
  2-line YAML stub) with a clear statement of the persistent-container
  semantics and a pointer to the full lifecycle section.
- docker.md: tighten the 'Docker as a terminal backend' bullet and the
  'Skills and credential files' paragraph to call out the single-container
  model explicitly.
