Summary

Restores the "Container discovery" section that was accidentally dropped in #18998 when swarm networking content was deduplicated from network/drivers/overlay.md into engine/swarm/networking.md.

The removed content documented that tasks.<service-name> DNS lookups return individual task IP addresses for a service — a useful swarm-specific feature for service-to-service discovery without going through the VIP.

The new section is placed directly after the VIP/DNSRR service discovery descriptions, within the "Configure service discovery" section, which is the right location for this content.

Issue

Fixes #24940
