local-up-cluster changes: added help option, added error message for why docker ps fails and how to recover, added test to check if etcd is in your path to fail fast when not found.

from etcd.sh split the start process into validate fucntion + start function so that the validate piece can be reused elsewhere. the up-cluster script has been changed to remove duplicate docker logic to the one used in buid-tools/common.sh and the validate etcd function is now used here.

moved docker daemon check function to util.sh and made function name changes and upstream changes.
