Misc doc fixes (#2562)
* Link to stable and development docs in the README

* Add Tailscale SSH and autogroup:nonroot to features page

* Use @ when referencing users in policy

* Remove unmaintained headscale-webui

The project seems to be unmaintained (last commit: 2023-05-08) and it
only supports Headscale 0.22 or earlier.

* Use full image URL in container docs

This makes it easy to switch the container runtime from docker <->
podman.

* Remove version from docker-compose.yml example

This is now deprecated and yields a warning.

Features

Headscale aims to implement a self-hosted, open source alternative to the Tailscale control server. Headscale's goal is to provide self-hosters and hobbyists with an open-source server they can use for their projects and labs. This page provides on overview of Headscale's feature and compatibility with the Tailscale control server:

  • Node registration using Single-Sign-On (OpenID Connect) (GitHub label "OIDC")
    • Basic registration
    • Update user profile from identity provider
    • Dynamic ACL support
    • OIDC groups cannot be used in ACLs
