Docker for Mac Mutagen Refugee Discussion

With the removal of Mutagen from Docker for Mac Edge, there's been a lot of interest in continued use of Mutagen for development. While development of gRPC-FUSE continues, I'd like to offer a workaround to developers looking to emulate the previous Docker for Mac Edge functionality.

This isn't the *only* way to use Mutagen with Docker for Mac, it's just an initial workaround proposal.

If you're on macOS, the best and easiest way to do this is with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/): ``` brew install mutagen-io/mutagen/mutagen ``` ## Create a volume for ca
