Support for pulling docker containers via bittorrent

[pll]

Quay.io supports pulling docker containers via quayctl, which seems to be a wrapper around docker to support pulling/distributing images via bittorrent.

I would like the salt module to support alternative means for pulling that aren't via the docker API. Ideally, though I would like it to support quayctl, it should probably support a means for specifying something in place of docker pull via the API. Perhaps something like command line option vs. API call, so in a state file, I could do something like:

pull docker images with bittorrent:
  docker_image.present:
    - name: quay.io/myrepo/image
    - tag: {{ docker_tag }}
    - cmd: /usr/local/bin/quayctl docker pull torrent

Or something like that.

Thanks.
