@zhixiongli2011 just confirming that you verified that commenting out that line would work and can still launch etcd + nats normally |

Overview:
When setting up etcd & NATS by following the instruction in https://github.com/ai-dynamo/dynamo?tab=readme-ov-file#1-initial-setup and using command "docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml up -d", the command failed with the below error, either etcd or NATS brought up.
✘ Container deploy-dcgm-exporter-1 Error response from daemon: unk... 0.0s
Error response from daemon: unknown or invalid runtime name: nvidia
Details:
The root cause is the dcgm-exporter service defined in docker-compose.yml explicitly uses the nvidia container runtime like below, which was not installed and running in the environment. To deploy the services successfully, the "runtime: nvidia" parameter needs to be commented out. This PR is to add additional information to the instruction to help others avoid the same issue.
Where should the reviewer start?
The "Install etcd and NATS (required)" section of the main README.md file
