Otto Kekäläinen b619220ce1 Multiple fixes to 'docker stats' output:
* Add space between values in docker stats output for easier parsing

  Old output could not be parsed easily because there were columns
  that did not have any separator. Also values that are together
  without any space is difficult to read even for humans.

* Update unit.HumanSize comment to match what the does actually does

Running docker stats on multiple containers

$ docker stats redis1 redis2
CONTAINER           CPU %               MEM USAGE / LIMIT     MEM %               NET I/O
redis1              0.07%               796 KB / 64 MB        1.21%               788 B / 648 B
redis2              0.07%               2.746 MB / 64 MB      4.29%               1.266 KB / 648 B

The docker stats command will only return a live stream of data for running containers. Stopped containers will not return any data.

Note: If you want more detailed information about a container's resource usage, use the API endpoint.
