Anthony Oteri fbe43f03f1 Support deleting an image tag
If the Docker Registry API allows for images to be deleted, issuing the
command `delete <image> <tag>` will result in the tag being removed from
the server.

A limitation of this change is that it will cause any unreferenced tags
to become orphaned, requiring the garbage collector within the docker
registry server to clean these up.  This is because there is no way to
efficiently determine if each of the layers are reused by other tags or
images on the server.

Implement delete logic

Commands:
catalog Fetch the list of available repositories from the catalog
tags Fetch the list of tags for a given image
show Show detailed information about a particular image
delete Delete a tagged image from the registry
check Perform a simple API Version check towards the configured registry endpoint
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Arguments:
<REGISTRY>
The host or host:port or full base URL of the Docker Registry
Options:
--log-level[=<LEVEL>]
[default: info]
[possible values: trace, debug, info, warn, error, off]
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
-V, --version
Print version
```
### Checking the API Version
Perform a simple API Version check towards the registry endpoint
```sh
Usage: dredge <REGISTRY> check
Options:
-h, --help Print help
```
### Fetch Repository List
Fetch the list of available repositories from the catalog
```sh
Usage: dredge <REGISTRY> catalog
Options:
-h, --help Print help
```
### Listing tags for an image
Fetch the list of tags for a given image
```shell
Usage: dredge <REGISTRY> tags <NAME>
Arguments:
<NAME>
Options:
-h, --help Print help
```
### Viewing details of a tagged image
Show detailed information about a particular image
```shell
Usage: dredge <REGISTRY> show <IMAGE> [TAG]
Arguments:
<IMAGE>
[TAG]
Options:
-h, --help Print help
```
### Deleteing a tagged image
Delete a tagged image from the registry
Note! This requires that the registry has storage delete rights enabled. For
example, when creating the registry, setting the environment variable
`REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE_ENABLED=true` to enable that feature. If that is not
enabled, a `MethodNotAllowed` error will be returned.
Note! This will only remove the tag from the registry, it will not remove
orphaned digests. For that, the garbage collector on the registry service must
be run separately.
```shell
Usage: dredge <REGISTRY> delete <IMAGE> <TAG>
Arguments:
<IMAGE>
<TAG>
Options:
-h, --help Print help
```
