fix(docker): merge-time fixes for Update-Codeman.sh (#465)

- Remove exactly the codeman-node-modules/codeman-dist volumes by Compose
  label after a plain `down`, instead of `down --volumes` (which also takes
  any volume an override file declares while the message named two).
  `down --volumes` remains only as a warned fallback when the project name
  cannot be resolved.
- Report a failing first `docker compose config --format json` call with a
  clear error instead of exiting silently under `set -e`.
- Filter empty label lines in the collision guard so an unlabelled container
  cannot hide a real collision; name the moved-checkout exit in its error.
- Comments no longer cite a guard or incident in Start-Codeman.sh that does
  not exist; the README states the real gap (a Node base-image bump leaves
  codeman-node-modules stale because the lockfile did not move).
- docs: Update-Codeman.sh in the docker-self-update.md short-version table
  and a mention in docker-compose.md; "Major updates" moved under "Updating"
  in docker/README.md.
- test: smoke test covers the new sequence, the config failure and the
  empty-line case; quiet stdio; @fileoverview names the fourth concern.

Codeman updates itself from **App Settings → Updates**, as it does on a bare host. The checkout mounted at `/opt/codeman` is the same directory Compose builds from, so the update's `git checkout` and rebuild land on the host and survive container recreation; the restart is the server exiting, which `restart: unless-stopped` turns into a relaunch on the new build.
That applies application code only. A release that changes `docker/server.Dockerfile`, `docker/docker-compose.yaml`, or adds a key to `docker/.env.example` needs the image rebuilt or the container recreated, which a container cannot do to itself. The updater detects each case and refuses with a message naming what changed; run `docker/Start-Codeman.sh` on the host to apply those.

The updater detects each case and refuses with a message naming what changed; run `docker/Start-Codeman.sh` on the host to apply those. For a major update, or a base-image change `Start-Codeman.sh` does not fully pick up, `docker/Update-Codeman.sh` rebuilds with no layer cache and clears the two build-artefact volumes before handing off to it (see "Major updates" in `docker/README.md`).
`CODEMAN_REPO_PATH` overrides which checkout is mounted. It defaults to the compose project's parent directory, so it normally needs no setting. Point it at a directory that is not a git checkout and in-app updates are reported as unavailable.
