Changes from newsdev/docker-varnish

• The default build version is 4.1.2 instead of 4.1.0.
• The storage backend is completely configurable by setting VARNISH_STORAGE_BACKEND, but defaults to malloc,100m as it did before.
• A default.vcl is automatically generated based on the VARNISH_BACKEND_* environment variables, so that users do not have to derive a custom image to use it.
