David Pelaez 56a385e489 Improved X-Registry-Auth content instructions
Hi,

this is a small contribution to fix some slightly unprecise information about the `X-Registry-Auth` header required to pull from private registries through the remote API. After a lot of trial and I error I managed to find that the documentation indications had this issues:

* Apparently single quotes cannot be used and double quotes (regular JSON) is required.
* Also the `auth` key must be passed even if empty or a 403 will result.
* It was not clear what the `serveraddress` had to be.

I added some small clarifications for anyone taking a look at the docs to keep them from the problems I've encountered. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks to all the contributors for bringing so much awesomeness to the linux world. :)

  • The remote API by which a docker node can be queried over HTTP
  • The registry API by which a docker node can download and upload images for storage and sharing
  • The index search API by which a docker node can search the public index for images to download
  • The docker.io OAuth and accounts API which 3rd party services can use to access account information
