Archive old repository

Just noticed that I'd been following the wrong repo for the last few years. To avoid confusion, it might be good to archive the old one: https://github.com/drone/drone-docker

Why do you think that https://github.com/drone/drone-docker would be the old one? It's not an old repository, it's simply a repository that started to build another way how to create Docker images, it just have not been finished. These are still two different things.

I assumed it was old because it hasn't seen a commit in over 2 years and PRs have been ignored. So it may not be an old fork, but it appears to be abandoned and is unclear from the documentation which plugin is actually the active one referenced in the Drone documentation.

My story and the reason for my PR and then this issue is that I encountered issues with the Docker plugin, searched for "drone docker plugin", which resulted in taking me to drone/drone-docker as the top GitHub link. I made a PR there, and had been following that repo for updates. There were as no indication that I was in the wrong place and that the repo I cloned was an experimental new method of building images.

I find it confusing and think that updated documentation could be a simple way to avoid confusion by future possible users or contributors.
