Fix pid=host example in documentation

The existing example didn't illustrate how to
install strace in the container. In addition,
the rhel7 image used is no longer public (and maintained)
so not a good image to use in the example.

This updates the example to use htop (strace is
not working without disabling apparmor for the container)

like `strace` or `gdb`, but want to use these tools when debugging processes
within the container.
$ docker run --pid=host rhel7 strace -p 1234
### Example: run htop inside a container
This command would allow you to use `strace` inside the container on pid 1234 on
the host.
Create this Dockerfile:
```
FROM alpine:latest
RUN apk add --update htop && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
CMD ["htop"]
```
Build the Dockerfile and tag the image as `myhtop`:
```bash
$ docker build -t myhtop .
```
Use the following command to run `htop` inside a container:
```
$ docker run -it --rm --pid=host myhtop
```
