failure to run if client and server API versions don't match

[neurogenesis]

since not everyone will be using the same version of the server API, the docker-gc client should be able detect and use the appropriate version of the docker API.

Good suggestion. We're definitely open to PRs :)

The docker daemon may be newer than the client talking to it. Since the rm and rmi commands have been in docker for a while, it is sufficient to install an old version (eg. 1.6) and docker-gc will be able to talk to all newer deamons.

We just shell out to docker. If there's an issue and the docker CLI is unable to communicate with the Docker daemon, then there's something wrong with the setup.
