[aur-general] docker v. docker

[Ido Rosen]

I really don't care either way, but (a) lxc-docker is more descriptive of
what docker actually is than docker-io; and (b) the Docker
website/installation documentation for ArchLinux already points to
lxc-docker and lxc-docker-git...  It's not worth changing names unless it's
for plain old "docker".  :-)

Either way, version 0.7.0 was just released and I've updated lxc-docker to
it.  As of this version, lxc-docker no longer needs a custom aufs-friendly
kernel and should have no AUR dependencies.  If you so desire, it can now
be fast-tracked into [community] or [extra] if possible, and while you're
add it put vagrant in there as well. :-)  PKGBUILDs, etc. are maintained in
my git repo: https://github.com/ido/packages-archlinux in the "aur"
directory.

If there are any changes that need to be made to it, let me know or send a
pull request.  In AUR, lxc-docker-git now points to the master branch
installation from source/git, and lxc-docker points to the binary
(recommended) installation mechanism from the website.  lxc-docker-git
needs further work to comply with the recommended docker build instructions
(which are to build docker inside of docker), but it builds a working
binary at the moment.
