docs: Stop describing Docker as experimental.

It's not an accurate descripton for an image that's been used in
production for many years, and we fully support.

## Zulip in Docker
Zulip has an officially supported, experimental
[docker image](https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip). Please note
that Zulip's [normal installer](install.md) has been
extremely reliable for years, whereas the Docker image is new and has
rough edges, so we recommend the normal installer unless you have a
specific reason to prefer Docker.
In addition to the [standard installer](./install.md), Zulip has an
[official Docker image](https://github.com/zulip/docker-zulip).
How should you decide whether to use the Docker image? Our experience
is that Docker moderately increases the effort required to install,
maintain and upgrade a Zulip installation, especially for system
administrators that are not used to operating production services
using Docker.
So we recommend using the Docker image if and only if your
organization has a preference for deploying services using Docker.
Zulip's [backup tool][backups] supports migrating between Docker and a
standard installation, so you can change your mind later.
