Josh Hawn 79910625f0 Adds Docker Image v1 Spec Documention
Many iterations have gone into documenting a v1 specification of Docker's Image
format.

v1 Image spec: clarify parent field

- metalivedev pointed out that the description was ambiguous, so I've removed
  mention that it was randomly generated. It IS the ID of the parent image.

Updated v1 image specificatino documentation

- More complete details and deprication notifications for each field
  in the JSON metadata of an image.
- Details on the format for packaging combined Image JSON + Filesystem
  Changeset archives for all layers of an image.

Clarify description of an image "Layer" in v1 spec

Updated intro of image v1 spec

Updated image v1 spec after more review

- Removed description of "Image" from the terminology section. The entire
  document is meant to serve this purpose.
- Updated the definition of "Image Filesystem Changeset".
- Clarified the level of randomness needed for generating image IDs.
- Updated the description of "Image Checksum".
- Added term descriptions for "Repository" and "Tag"
- Removed extraneous/implementation-specific fields from the Image JSON
  example file and field descriptions:
  - removed "container_config" and "docker_version" fields.
  - Added missing "author" field example and description.
- Removed extraneous/implementation-specific fields from the "config" struct
  example and description:
  - removed "Hostname", "Domainname", "Cpuset", "AttachStdin", "AttachStdout",
    "AttachStderr", "PortSpecs", "Tty", "OpenStdin", "StdinOnce", "Image",
    "NetworkDisabled", and "OnBuild".
- Updated example Image JSON config with better example values for "Env",
  "Cmd", "Volumes", "WorkingDir", "Entrypoint", "CpuShares", "Memory",
  "MemorySwap", and "User".
- Added notices that any fields not specified are to be considered as
  implementation specific and should be ignored my implementations which
  are unable to interpret them.
- Updated example of creating layer filesystem changesets to use less formal
  language.
- Listed more details in the section regarding extraction of a bundle of image
  layers into the root filesystem of a container.
- Updated the closing mention of Docker as an evolving implementation.

More updates to the v1 image spec

- Added line wrapping after 80 columns per line to adhere to documentation
  style guides, as pointed out by @jamtur01

- Removed references to any specific docker commands, updated a few descriptions
  or drop repeated statements, as pointed out by @cpuguy83
