[CI:DOCS] elaborate on image lookups of foreign platforms
After pulling/creating an image of a foreign platform, Podman will
happily use it when looking it up in the local storage and will not
pull down the image matching the host platform.
As discussed in #12682, the reasoning for it is Docker compatibility and
the fact that user already rely on the behavior. While Podman is now
emitting a warning when an image is in use not matching the local
platform, the documentation was lacking that information.
Fixes: #15300
