Description
### Feature Description
> Docker Engine volume plugins enable Engine deployments to be integrated with external storage systems such as Amazon EBS, and enable data volumes to persist beyond the lifetime of a single Docker host
FYI: https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugins_volume/
### Problem and Solution
Implement A Docker Volume Plugin for OpenDAL, so users can integrate Docker with OpenDAL in this way:
```yaml
services:
app:
image: whatever/image
volumes: [configdata:/config]
volumes:
configdata:
driver: opendal
driver_opts:
root: "/"
```
### Additional Context
As a volume plugin, we need to implement [Volume Plugin Protocol](https://docs.docker.com/engine/extend/plugins_volume/#volume-plugin-protocol). It is an HTTP server that registers itself so the Docker daemon can find it and use it.
While implementing plugins is language-agnostic, it is notable that Go has [a plugin helper](https://github.com/docker/go-plugins-helpers) that benefits for developing.
Rclone has a docker volume plugin too. FYI: https://rclone.org/docker

Research direction
Start by reading Docker's Volume Plugin Protocol and the docker/go-plugins-helpers reference linked in the issue. Determine how the plugin should register its HTTP server and map the Compose volume configuration to OpenDAL. Done means Docker can discover the opendal driver and use it for the example volume configuration.
