doc/toolbox: Add section about supported distribution images

Browse source 
Having a list of supported distributions in the manual has been long
overdue. Complementing it with the expected formats should make lives
of users a bit easier.

## Supported operating system distributions
By default, Toolbox tries to use an image matching the host operating system
distribution for creating containers. If the host is not supported, then it
falls back to a Fedora image. Supported host operating systems are:
* Fedora
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux >= 8.5
However, it's possible to create containers for a different distribution
through the use of the `--distro` and `--release` options that are accepted by
the relevant commands, or their counterparts in the configuration file. The
`--distro` flag specifies the name of the distribution, and `--release`
specifies its version. Supported combinations are:
Distro |Release
-------|----------
fedora |\<release\> or f\<release\> eg., 35 or f35
rhel |\<major\>.\<minor\> eg., 8.5
