Description

Now that CDI is the default (and recommended) mechanism for injecting GPUs into containers, we should update our Architecture Overview page https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/arch-overview.html

Currently, the page describes the legacy architecture that revolves around libnvidia-container. I propose we have two top-level sections on this page -- one for the new CDI-based architecture, and another for the legacy libnvidia-container based architecture. The section detailing CDI should come first.
