tweak description of login/logout Remove "Docker" from registry, as the registry specification is no longer docker-specific, but part of the OCI distribution spec. Also removed "Register" from one of the docs pages, as the login command hasn't supported creating a new acccount on Docker Hub for a long time. I'm wondering if we should be more explicit about what log in / out does (effectively; authenticate, and on success store the credentials or token, and on log out; remove credentials/token).
