Add separate headers for each flag, so that they can be linked from the flag-description table.

- What I did

- How I did it

- How to verify it

- Human readable description for the release notes

### <a name="follow"></a> Stream log output (-f, --follow)

The `docker logs --follow` command will continue streaming the new output from
the container's `STDOUT` and `STDERR`.

### <a name="tail"></a> Retrieve the last logs (-n, --tail)

Passing a negative number or a non-integer to `--tail` is invalid and the
value is set to `all` in that case.


### <a name="timestamps"></a> Retrieve logs with timestamps (-t, --timestamps)

This all needs a bit of a rewrite as the wording is pretty poor; this PR is keeping the changes minimal; just adding the headings.
