This PR proposes some improvements to the "Monitor hosts with Elastic Agent" quickstart guide.

I added:

  • A prerequisite for serverless: creating an Elastic Cloud deployment if one doesn't exist
  • A tip for a common install issue: cleaning up old agent installations

I also clarified that Docker metrics are not auto-detected on macOS due to the Docker Desktop VM (previously only logs were mentioned).

These changes are based on a walkthrough of the quickstart tutorial.

This PR resolves #1639
