`matrix_container_global_registry_prefix_override` may look similar to
the old `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix` variable
(removed in d6bf789710), but it's different.
The old `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix` variable was just a hardcode of `docker.io/` and roles that
needed to refer to `docker.io/` could use it. However, this was:
- not used by all roles, because some need another registry (not `docker.io/`)
- used only by roles within the playbook (`roles/custom`), not external roles
Overriding the old `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix` variable was rather pointless,
as it didn't cover everything.
The new `matrix_container_global_registry_prefix_override` variable, on the other hand,
lets you override the registry prefix for all components, regardless of whether they
use `docker.io/` or another registry by default.
This is useful to people who have somehow mirrored all container images to their own registry,
as it provides them with a single variable they can flip to influence the whole playbook.
This:
- brings consistency - no more mixing `_name_prefix` and `_registry_prefix`
- adds extensibility - a future patch will allow reconfiguring all registry prefixes for all roles in the playbook
We still have `_docker_` vs `_container_` inconsistencies.
These may be worked on later.
We'be already been going against upstream defaults and have been
enabling backfilling for a few other bridges (Messenger, Instagram, Telegram, Twitter).
Now I'm enabling backfilling by default for the remaining ones, for
consistency.

With this change, it should be possible for people to adjust the Docker
dependency from `docker.service` to something else (e.g. `pkg-ContainerManager-dockerd.service`),
or to completely eliminate it by setting `devture_systemd_docker_base_docker_service_name` to an empty string.
This makes it easier for people to use the playbook against a Synology DSM server.
