Aaron Schlesinger 0f09bcd16a Add documentation for how to register new StorageDrivers
This commit adds context-specific documentation on StorageDriver,
StorageDriverFactory, and the factory’s Register func, explaining how
the internal registration mechanism should be used.

This documentation follows from the thread starting at
https://github.com/deis/builder/pull/262/files#r56720200.

// Storage drivers should call Register() with a factory to make the driver available by name.
// Individual StorageDriver implementations generally register with the factory via the Register
// func (below) in their init() funcs, and as such they should be imported anonymously before use.
// See below for an example of how to register and get a StorageDriver for S3
//
// import _ "github.com/docker/distribution/registry/storage/driver/s3-aws"
// s3Driver, err = factory.Create("s3", storageParams)
// // assuming no error, s3Driver is the StorageDriver that communicates with S3 according to storageParams

// Parameters will vary by driver and may be ignored
// Each parameter key must only consist of lowercase letters and numbers

}
// Register makes a storage driver available by the provided name.
// If Register is called twice with the same name or if driver factory is nil, it panics.
// Additionally, it is not concurrency safe. Most Storage Drivers call this function
// in their init() functions. See the documentation for StorageDriverFactory for more.
