WithContainerID: Document ECS limitation. (#3639)

* WithContainerID: Document ECS limitation. WithContainerID is not able to extract the correct container id in an ECS environment. The ECS resource detector should be used instead (https://pkg.go.dev/go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/detectors/aws/ecs). See #3633. * fix lint * Update sdk/resource/config.go --------- Co-authored-by: Tyler Yahn <[email protected]>
