Matthew Heon d96eb47dee Added note in manpages to clarify effect of docker start on started container

When run on a container that is already running, docker always succeeds.
This was an intentional change in v0.10; it previously caused an error.
This commit clarifies the man pages to indicate this is intended behavior.
