While we keep ordinary hints in a directory parallel to the data directory,
we decided to keep the materialized view hints in a subdirectory of the data
directory, named "view_pending_updates". But during boot, we expect all
subdirectories of data/ to be keyspace names, and when we notice this one,
we print a warning:
WARN: database - Skipping undefined keyspace: view_pending_updates
This spurious warning annoyed users. But moreover, we could have bigger
problems if the user actually tries to create a keyspace with that name.
So in this patch, we move the view hints to a separate top-level directory,
which defaults to /var/lib/scylla/view_hints, but as usual can be configured.

By default Scylla docker runs without the security features.
This patch adds support for the user to supply different params values for the
authenticator and authorizer classes and allowing to setup a secure Scylla in
Docker.
For example if you want to run a secure Scylla with password and authorization:
docker run --name some-scylla -d scylladb/scylla --authenticator
PasswordAuthenticator --authorizer CassandraAuthorizer
Update the Docker documentation with the new command line options.

By default, overprovisioned is not enabled on docker unless it is
explicitly set. I have come to believe that this is a mistake.
If the user is running alone in the machine, and there are no other
processes pinned anywhere - including interrupts - not running
overprovisioned is the best choice.
But everywhere else, it is not: even if a user runs 2 docker containers
in the same machine and statically partitions CPUs with --smp (but
without cpuset) the docker containers will pin themselves to the same
sets of CPU, as they are totally unaware of each other.
It is also very common, specially in some virtualized environments, for
interrupts not to be properly distributed - being particularly keen on
being delivered on CPU0, a CPU which Scylla will pin by default.
Lastly, environments like Kubernetes simply don't support pinning at the
moment.
This patch enables the overprovisioned flag if it is explicitly set -
like we did before - but also by default unless --cpuset is set.

This patch takes a modified version of the Ubuntu 14.04 housekeeping
service script and uses it in Docker to validate the current version.
To disable the version validation, pass the --disable-version-check flag
when running the container.

Using --hostname to give the container a meaningful name is a good
practice, and make the monitoring dashboard easier to understand

Glauber "eagle eyes" Costa pointed out that the Scylla logo used in our
Docker image documentation looks broken because it's missing the Scylla
text.
Fix the problem by using the Scylla mascot instead.

The bug tracker URL in our Docker image documentation is not clickable
because the URL Markdown extracts automatically is broken.
Fix that and add some more links on how to get help and report issues.

Fix Docker Hub documentation to match what we have right now.
More work is needed in the following areas:
* How to make a cluster
* How to configure Docker image for production use
