doc/container: put containerizing SPDK to front

Browse Source 
Recently, received questions around containerizing SPDK app
or app built on top of SPDK. Containerizing SPDK is more
useful for general SPDK users.
So move it to front in order to avoid SPDK users get confused
or stuck on the Kata one.

## Using SPDK vhost target to provide volume service to Kata Containers and Docker {#kata_containers_with_spdk_vhost}
[Kata Containers](https://katacontainers.io) can build a secure container
runtime with lightweight virtual machines that feel and perform like
containers, but provide stronger workload isolation using hardware
virtualization technology as a second layer of defense.
From Kata Containers [1.11.0](https://github.com/kata-containers/runtime/releases/tag/1.11.0),
vhost-user-blk support is enabled in `kata-containers/runtime`. That is to say
SPDK vhost target can be used to provide volume service to Kata Containers directly.
In addition, a container manager like Docker, can be configured easily to launch
a Kata container with an SPDK vhost-user block device. For operating details, visit
Kata containers use-case [Setup to run SPDK vhost-user devices with Kata Containers and Docker](https://github.com/kata-containers/documentation/blob/master/use-cases/using-SPDK-vhostuser-and-kata.md#host-setup-for-vhost-user-devices)
