Clarify .dockerignore example for Markdown files

Browse source 
The current documentation correctly states that dockerignore pattern
searches are non-recursive. However, the example given for Markdown

Markdown files. This commit clarifies the situation by explicitly
specifying that `*.md` will only exclude files in the root directory of
the project.

You can even use the `.dockerignore` file to ignore the `Dockerfile` and
