feat: improve Docker setup with configurable transport and CLI documentation

- Update Dockerfile to use SSE transport by default for HTTP connectivity
- Simplify docker-compose.yml configuration with cleaner volume setup
- Add comprehensive CLI commands documentation for Docker usage
- Include mcp-proxy integration guide for Claude Desktop
- Document project management workflow for Docker volume mounts
- Remove complex multi-project configuration in favor of CLI-based setup
