James R. Barlow ff45e54c07 Run Docker images as non-root user and default to /data workdir
Harden the Docker images by dropping root privileges, and make the
bind-mount workflow less fiddly.

- Create a non-root `app` user (uid/gid 1000) in both images and add
  `USER app` before the entrypoint, so ocrmypdf (and the
  webservice/watcher) no longer run as root. This also fixes the
  previously dangling `--chown=app:app`, which referenced a user that
  was never created. The Ubuntu base ships a default `ubuntu`/1000 user,
  so remove it first so `app` can take uid 1000 (parity with Alpine).

- Add `WORKDIR /data` (created and app-owned) so bind-mounted input and
  output can be passed as relative paths without `--workdir`. The
  webservice/watcher are now invoked by absolute path (`/app/*.py`)
  since the working directory is no longer `/app`.

- Drop the redundant `ppa:alex-p/tesseract-ocr5` from the Ubuntu image:
  Tesseract 5 ships in the Ubuntu archive as of 24.04, and the PPA had
  no build for the 26.04 base, which broke the build outright.

- Rewrite docs/docker.md rootless-first: stdin/stdout piping as the
  recommended permission-free path, then per-runtime volume guidance
  (rootless Docker `--user 0:0`, Podman `--userns keep-id`, rootful
  Docker as the special case). Update batch.md and the compose example
  to match (absolute script paths, per-runtime `user:` guidance).
