Reading the entire tar file into memory can result in out-of-memory
conditions such as this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

self.client.load_image(image_data)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/docker/api/image.py", line 147, in load_image

...

msg += message_body
MemoryError
Luckily docker-py's load_image(), which calls requests post(), accepts a
file-like object instead of a string. Pass in the file object to avoid
reading the full file into memory. This allows larger tar files to load
succesfully.

Give user a course of action in the case where the suggestions do not
work. This will hopefully allow us to work through any further issues
much faster.
Check commit enables using tls when using the docker_image module. It
also removes the default for docker_url which doesn't allow us to check
for DOCKER_HOST which is a more sane default. This allows you to use
docker_image on OSX but more documentation is needed.
By default docker-py uses latest version of Docker API. This is not
always desireable, and this patch adds option to specify version, that
should be used.
* Fix docs to specify when python2.6+ is required (due to a library
dep). This helps us know when it is okay to use python2.6+ syntax in
the file.
* remove BabyJson returns. See #1211 This commit fixes all but the
openstack modules.
* Use if __name__ == '__main__' to only run the main part of the module
if the module is run as a program. This allows for the potential to
unittest the code later.
