A docker container can use service discovery tools to build up its configuration files.
For instance, some kind of service has to build the list of its peers, minus itself.
It is then useful to be able to filter nodes based on an criteria, like a unique id.
The only available id within a container being the "containerid", returned by "hostname",
this PR adds the containerid in the servicetags filed to be able to filter when querying the service discovery service.
It could have been added to the "serviceId" schema, but it would then lead to backward compatibility issues
