Update documentation to clarify that Ansible Builder requires RPM-based container images (those using dnf/yum package management) and that non-RPM-based distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, and Alpine are not supported.

Changes:

  • index.rst: Replace "Choosing a base image" section with detailed requirements and warnings about RPM-based vs non-RPM images
  • definition.rst: Add notes to base_image examples and expand package_manager_path documentation with warnings
  • installation.rst: Add "Base Image Requirements" section

Fixes #692
