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](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants)
, 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.
