📄 Description

Several proposed improvements:

remove the need for privileged
reduce final image by ~2.5GB (from 6GB)
support fallback from kvm to tcg
use shell expansions and push DISPLAY into ENV so it does not need to be supplied
provide example on how to use PulseAudio
- partly resolves https://github.com/sickcodes/Docker-OSX/issues/71
- note that due to (seemingly) the lack of codec driver support there still is no audio support in the guest
