Document the end-to-end workflow for using the containerd EROFS snapshotter with Kata Containers runtime-rs, covering containerd configuration, Kata QEMU settings, and pod deployment examples via crictl/ctr/Kubernetes. Include prerequisites (containerd >= 2.2, runtime-rs main branch), QEMU VMDK format verification command, architecture diagram, VMDK descriptor format reference, and troubleshooting guide. Note that Cloud Hypervisor, Firecracker, and Dragonball do not support VMDK block devices and are currently unsupported for fsmerged EROFS rootfs. Signed-off-by: Alex Lyn <alex.lyn@antgroup.com>
