README.md and Documentation Update (#2389)
* follow up on #2383 Fixes a documentation error by which a list would not be rendered correctly. This has been taken care of. * update the `README.md` I felt the need to update the README for several reasons: 1. LDAP issues that the core maintainers team cannot really resolve 2. Cleaning up the somewhat messy structure near the end The first point goes without explanantion. The second points includes: 2.1. The tagging convention is now easier to read and understand 2.2. Some bullut points or notes have been inlined to "stick" more to the content that it actually belongs to 2.3. The note about the "old" `setup.sh` for DMS `10.1.0` has been removed as it is obsolete now. We encourage users to upgrade to `10.4.0` anyways. 2.4. The markdown code highlighting is now using `CONSOLE` instead of `BASH` because `CONSOLE` is more appropriate. 2.5. Capitalized headings 2.6. Updated the section about `./setup.sh help` to be in one place now instead of two 2.7. DKIM key generation does now not interfere with user account creation. * adjusted content to PR suggestions

[CI/CD](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/actions) will automatically build, test and push new images to container registries. Currently, the following registries are supported:
|

|
||||
- [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver)
|
||||
- [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/orgs/docker-mailserver/packages?repo_name=docker-mailserver)

Since Docker Mailserver `v10.2.0`, `setup.sh` functionality is included within the Docker image. The external convenience script is no longer required if you prefer using `docker exec <CONTAINER NAME> setup <COMMAND>` instead.

**Note:** If you're using Docker or Docker Compose and are new to `docker-mailserver`, it is recommended to use the script `setup.sh` for convenience.

``` BASH

./setup.sh config dkim domain '<domain.tld>[,<domain2.tld>]'
