Brian Goff bd9d14a07b Add support for reading logs extra attrs
The jsonlog logger currently allows specifying envs and labels that
should be propagated to the log message, however there has been no way
to read that back.

This adds a new API option to enable inserting these attrs back to the
log reader.

With timestamps, this looks like so:
```
92016-04-08T15:28:09.835913720Z foo=bar,hello=world hello
```

The extra attrs are comma separated before the log message but after
timestamps.

Without timestaps it looks like so:
```
foo=bar,hello=world hello
```

logs

Usage: docker logs [OPTIONS] CONTAINER

Fetch the logs of a container

  --details                 Show extra details provided to logs
  -f, --follow              Follow log output
  --help                    Print usage
  --since=""                Show logs since timestamp
  -t, --timestamps          Show timestamps
  --tail="all"              Number of lines to show from the end of the logs

Note

: this command is available only for containers with json-file and journald logging drivers.

The docker logs command batch-retrieves logs present at the time of execution.

The docker logs --follow command will continue streaming the new output from the container's STDOUT and STDERR.

Passing a negative number or a non-integer to --tail is invalid and the value is set to all in that case.

The docker logs --timestamps command will add an RFC3339Nano timestamp , for example 2014-09-16T06:17:46.000000000Z, to each log entry. To ensure that the timestamps are aligned the nano-second part of the timestamp will be padded with zero when necessary.

The docker logs --details command will add on extra attributes, such as environment variables and labels, provided to --log-opt when creating the container.

The --since option shows only the container logs generated after a given date. You can specify the date as an RFC 3339 date, a UNIX timestamp, or a Go duration string (e.g. 1m30s, 3h). Besides RFC3339 date format you may also use RFC3339Nano, 2006-01-02T15:04:05, 2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999, 2006-01-02Z07:00, and 2006-01-02. The local timezone on the client will be used if you do not provide either a Z or a +-00:00 timezone offset at the end of the timestamp. When providing Unix timestamps enter seconds[.nanoseconds], where seconds is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970 (midnight UTC/GMT), not counting leap seconds (aka Unix epoch or Unix time), and the optional .nanoseconds field is a fraction of a second no more than nine digits long. You can combine the --since option with either or both of the --follow or --tail options.
