Ondřej Míchal ea452d7ced doc: Update to match current state & extend docs
- Update "See also" sections

Toolbox does not use Buildah for a considerable time now[0]. We can stop
referencing it in the "See also" sections of the documentation.

In some places mention podman command man pages where they are relevant.

- Add section about toolbox images/containers

Toolbox only supports certain OCI images. These should be documented.
Also, document the change of fedora-toolbox image name.

- Add a section about toolbox container setup

Toolbox containers are specifically configured OCI containers. This
should be documented so that users know what they're using.

- Remove redundant part documentation

The description of what `toolbox init-container` does is already in
toolbox-init-container(1). There's no need to have it in
toolbox-create(1). Instead, replace the text with a hint to visit the
other part of documentation.

- Clarify behaviour of --image option

The fact that Toolbox by default tries to pull from the Fedora
registry[1] should be noted.

- Update synopsis & description of commands

Mention options passed to `podman exec`. Remove redundant paragraph
about container names (is already dealt with in toolbox-create(1)).

There's no need to mention the name of the default container on Fedora
since Toolbox now also supports RHEL.

Mention the default used image on unrecognised systems.

Emphasize the fact that toolboxes are not a fully sandboxed environment.

Update the wording of the description and splits it into a few
subsections.

The description of the --monitor-host was inaccurate and while the
option will go away in the future[2], it is currently in and should be
more documented.

A toolbox image is an OCI image. Therefore, toolbox rmi can be used interchangeably with podman rmi.
