Prior to Docker v0.10, when docker start was run on an already-started container, it failed with an error. This was changed in v0.10 (commit a03f83e), which caused some confusion from people accustomed to the previous behaviour. This patch clarifies in the man pages that this change is intentional.

When run on a container that is already running, docker always succeeds.
This was an intentional change in v0.10; it previously caused an error.
This commit clarifies the man pages to indicate this is intended behavior.

LGTM - do you think this should also go into the cli.md doc?

That sounds like a good idea - this is the sort of thing that might be seriously confusing to those upgrading to a newer version. I'll add a commit for it.

This behavior changed from v0.9 to v0.10, so document it to prevent
any confusion.
