Clarify that --rm works with detached containers

Browse Source

this command creates an anonymous `/foo` volume. When you remove the container,

The `--rm` option works with both foreground and detached (`-d`) containers.
The anonymous volumes are cleaned up when the container exits.
```console
$ docker run --rm -v /foo -v awesome:/bar busybox top
