This is a cleanup request

Since 2020 the default AKS runtime is containerd and not Docker
https://github.com/Azure/AKS/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#release-2020-06-29

It is not possible anymore to create an AKS cluster with Docker runtime.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/cluster-configuration#container-runtime-configuration
Docker is no longer supported as of September 2022

However users of the resource azurerm_kubernetes_cluster are forced to set a value for docker_bridge_cidr because otherwise they cannot set service_cidr:

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/kubernetes_cluster#docker_bridge_cidr

This is super confusing to have this technical debt for folks that start using this resource in 2022, and they have no idea why a Docker cidr is needed when Docker is not even used.

Hello Folks, all AKS users are receiving this communication. This should be fixed in the provider as soon as possible. It should be possible to do not set docker_bridge_cidr and make this independent from service_cidr.
