Adds more documentation for labels and adds the label instruction to the
man-pages.
Also included is a document called "Labels - custom meta-data in Docker"
in the user-guide, this is still a work-in-progress I started to describe
the "namespaces" conventions, an example on storing structured data.
I ran a bit "out of steam" (writers block?) on that document, but kept
it in (for now), in case it still ends up useful.
The Remote API documentation changes will need to be moved to the
docker_remote_api_v1.18.md document when rebasing the whole PR.

Cgroup resources are host dependent, they should be in hostConfig.
For backward compatibility, we just copy it to hostConfig, and leave it in
Config for now, so there is no regressions, but the right way to use this
throught json is to put it in HostConfig, like:
{
"Hostname": "",
...
"HostConfig": {
"CpuShares": 512,
"Memory": 314572800,
...
}
}
As we will add CpusetMems, CpusetCpus is definitely a better name, but some
users are already using Cpuset in their http APIs, we also make it compatible.
The main idea is keep using Cpuset in Config Struct, and make it has the same
value as CpusetCpus, but not always, some scenarios:
- Users use --cpuset in docker command, it can setup cpuset.cpus and can
get Cpuset field from docker inspect or other http API which will get
config info.
- Users use --cpuset-cpus in docker command, ditto.
- Users use Cpuset field in their http APIs, ditto.
- Users use CpusetCpus field in their http APIs, they won't get Cpuset field
in Config info, because by then, they should already know what happens
to Cpuset.

- made the --filter option consistent across all command

This modifies the "docker help" text so that it is no wider than 80 chars
and each description fits on one line. This will also try to use ~ when
possible
Added a test to make sure we don't go over 80 chars again.

Under the restart policy "--restart=no", there is no record about it
in the information from docker inspect.
To keep it consistent around the three(maybe more in the future) restart
policies and distinguish with no restart policy specified cases, it's
worth to record it even though it is the default restart policy which
will not restart the container.

Add a --readonly flag to allow the container's root filesystem to be
mounted as readonly. This can be used in combination with volumes to
force a container's process to only write to locations that will be
persisted. This is useful in many cases where the admin controls where
they would like developers to write files and error on any other
locations.

We want to be able to use container without the PID namespace. We basically
want containers that can manage the host os, which I call Super Privileged
Containers. We eventually would like to get to the point where the only
namespace we use is the MNT namespace to bring the Apps userspace with it.
By eliminating the PID namespace we can get better communication between the
host and the clients and potentially tools like strace and gdb become easier
to use. We also see tools like libvirtd running within a container telling
systemd to place a VM in a particular cgroup, we need to have communications of the PID.
I don't see us needing to share PID namespaces between containers, since this
is really what docker exec does.
So currently I see us just needing docker run --pid=host

--help and help are successful commands so output should not go to error.
QE teams have requested this change, also users doing docker help | less
or docker run --help | less would expect this to work.
Usage statement should only be printed when the user asks for it.
Errors should print error message and then suggest the docker COMMAND --help
command to see usage information.
The current behaviour causes the user to have to search for the error message
and sometimes scrolls right off the screen. For example a error on a
"docker run" command is very difficult to diagnose.
Finally erros should always exit with a non 0 exit code, if the user
makes a CLI error.

These settings need to be in the HostConfig so that they are not
committed to an image and cannot introduce a security issue.
We can safely move this field from the Config to the HostConfig
without any regressions because these settings are consumed at container
created and used to populate fields on the Container struct. Because of
this, existing settings will be honored for containers already created
on a daemon with custom security settings and prevent values being
consumed via an Image.

Some workloads rely on IPC for communications with other processes. We
would like to split workloads between two container but still allow them
to communicate though shared IPC.
This patch mimics the --net code to allow --ipc=host to not split off
the IPC Namespace. ipc=container:CONTAINERID to share ipc between containers
If you share IPC between containers, then you need to make sure SELinux labels
match.

security-opts will allow you to customise the security subsystem.
For example the labeling system like SELinux will run on a container.
--security-opt="label:user:USER" : Set the label user for the container
--security-opt="label:role:ROLE" : Set the label role for the container
--security-opt="label:type:TYPE" : Set the label type for the container
--security-opt="label:level:LEVEL" : Set the label level for the container
--security-opt="label:disabled" : Turn off label confinement for the container
Since we are passing a list of string options instead of a space separated
string of options, I will change function calls to use InitLabels instead of
GenLabels. Genlabels interface is Depracated.

This adds a --add-host host:ip flag which appends lines to /etc/hosts. This is needed in places where you want the container to get a different name resolution than it would through DNS.

This exposes the already existing "create container" operation. It is
very similar to "docker run -d" except it doesn't actually start the
container, but just prepares it. It can then be manually started using
"docker start" at any point.
