Description

Clarifies the dest and tar parameter behavior for the OCI and Docker exporters.

This PR updates content/manuals/build/exporters/oci-docker.md to:

  • replace the terse dest description with a clearer destination-path description
  • clarify that tar bundles the output into a tar archive
  • add an Output modes section with examples for:
    • exporting an OCI image layout as a tar archive
    • exporting an OCI image layout as an unpacked directory with tar=false
    • using the Docker exporter without dest to load the image to the local image store
    • using the Docker exporter with dest to save the image layout to disk
