Quinn Redwoods 120b064895 docs: clarify depends_on short syntax does not wait for healthy services (#24144 )

## Description

Clarifies that the `depends_on` short syntax does not wait for services
to become healthy, and waits only for them to be started (running).

This aligns with the long syntax section, which defines
`service_started` as equivalent to the short syntax, and with the
[Control startup and shutdown
order](https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/startup-order/#control-startup)
manual:

> On startup, Compose does not wait until a container is "ready", only
until it's running.

Confirmed locally that short syntax behaves equivalently to `condition:
service_started`.
