Be able to disable notifications about 503 dockerhub errors #1448

Description

@kerphi

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a working watchtower configured with WATCHTOWER_POLL_INTERVAL=60 and with slack notification enabled.

Somethimes I noticed the slack notification report some strange errors:
image

Unable to update container "/qualimarc-watchtower": Error response from daemon: Head "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/containrrr/watchtower/manifests/1.4.0": received unexpected HTTP status: 503 Service Unavailable. Proceeding to next.

Although I setup watchtower with a low noise this way:

      WATCHTOWER_DEBUG: "false"
      WATCHTOWER_NO_STARTUP_MESSAGE: "true"
      WATCHTOWER_WARN_ON_HEAD_FAILURE: "never"

Describe the solution you'd like

I would expect a new parameter to be able to ignore dockerhub (or registry) errors, or maybe also network errors.
Maybe a such parameter :

WATCHTOWER_WARN_ON_DOCKERREGISTRY_ERROR: "true"

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative could be to totally remove notifications about theses errors and just report something in the watchtower logs.
