refactor(crawling): improve type hints and code cleanup

- Added proper return type hints for DeepCrawlStrategy.arun method
- Added __call__ method to DeepCrawlStrategy for easier usage
- Removed redundant comments and imports
- Cleaned up type hints in DFS strategy
- Removed empty docker_client.py and .continuerules
- Added .private/ to gitignore

BREAKING CHANGE: DeepCrawlStrategy.arun now returns Union[CrawlResultT, List[CrawlResultT], AsyncGenerator[CrawlResultT, None]]

-- This project Crawl4ai, I am very sensitive to any change, make sure to follow my instruction closely.
-- Never apply changes I never asked, you are not 100$ free agent to do whatever you want.
-- All changes must be relevant to the requests I asked for.
-- Do not jumpt tp make changes first share your plane and explain to me what you wanna do.
