packaging/docker: clarify host is not an image

Why:
Recent review feedback treated `packaging/docker/rsyslog/host/` as a
missing image variant because its README read like an image-specific
artifact. The current tree needs a sharper boundary between published
images and auxiliary packaging material.

Impact: No behavior change; documentation now states the support scope.

Before/After: `host/` looked like an image variant; it now reads as
auxiliary host-side material outside the published image family.

Technical Overview:
The top-level rsyslog container README now states explicitly that the
published image family in this subtree is limited to the five variants
built by the Makefile.

The `host/README.md` file now says this directory is not a built or
published Docker image target. It explains that the contents are
host-side forwarding configuration material and points readers back to
the main container README for the actual supported image list.

## rsyslog container for forwarding host logs
## Host-side forwarding example material
This configuration is meant for a container that ships logs from the local host to a remote collector using rsyslog.
This directory is not a built or published Docker image variant.
See the [main README](../../README.md) for an overview of all images and build instructions.
It contains auxiliary rsyslog configuration material for forwarding host
logs to a remote collector. It is not part of the supported container
image family built by `packaging/docker/rsyslog/Makefile`.
See the [main README](../README.md) for the actual published image
variants and build instructions.
