PostgreSQL 18+ Docker images changed the data directory structure to use
versioned subdirectories (e.g., /var/lib/postgresql/18/main) instead of
the traditional /var/lib/postgresql/data path.

Changes:
- Dockerfile: Add mkdir and chown to ensure /var/lib/postgresql has
  correct permissions for the postgres user before volume mount
- README.md: Update Quick Start with volume mount example
- README.md: Add 'Data Persistence' section explaining PG18+ requirements

This fixes the 'mkdir: cannot create directory: Permission denied' error
that occurred when mounting volumes at /var/lib/postgresql.

## Data Persistence
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Starting with PostgreSQL 18, mount volumes at `/var/lib/postgresql` (not `/var/lib/postgresql/data`).
> Data will be stored in a versioned subdirectory (e.g., `/var/lib/postgresql/18/main`), which facilitates future upgrades with `pg_upgrade`.
