docs: warn about build data tx & ADD w/o context

Browse source 
This updates the documentation to mention that:
1. a lot of data may get sent to the docker daemon if there is a lot of
data in the directory passed to docker build
2. ADD doesn't work in the absence of the context
3. running without a context doesn't send file data to the docker
daemon
4. explain that the data sent to the docker daemon will be used by ADD
commands

This will take the local Dockerfile
| This will read the Dockerfile from the current directory. It will also send any other files and directories found in the current directory to the docker daemon.
| The contents of this directory would be used by ADD commands found within the Dockerfile.

docker build -
This will read a Dockerfile form Stdin without context
| This will read a Dockerfile from Stdin without context. Due to the lack of a context, no contents of any local directory will be sent to the docker daemon.
| ADD doesn't work when running in this mode due to the absence of the context, thus having no source files to copy to the container.
