Add exit status to docker exec manpage
There's little way of knowing what each exit status means at present
because it's not documented. I'm assuming they are the same as docker
run.

# Exit Status

The exit code from `docker exec` gives information about why the container
|

failed to exec or why it exited. When `docker exec` exits with a non-zero code,
|
||||
the exit codes follow the `chroot` standard, see below:

$ docker exec busybox /etc; echo $?
