Add a curl example showing how to set container environment variables with the REST API

[wallrj]

Even if we just added something similar to the curl command below to the README file.

• Create a unit

$ curl --request PUT --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"Image": "clusterhq/env:latest", "Started":true, "Environment":{"Id":"env-printer-environment", "Variables":[{"Name": "Foo", "Value": "Bar"}]}}' "http://localhost:43273/container/env-printer"

$ sudo gear status env-printer
...

• Retrieving the environment with REST doesn't seem to work though.

$ curl "http://localhost:43273/environment/env-printer-environment"

...perhaps gear doesn't yet know how to format environment as JSON???

• gear command line client returns the expected output

$ sudo gear env env-printer-environment
Foo=Bar
