Retrieve a docker registry V2 image manifest

This utility retrieves a V2 docker image manifest from the docker registry.

NB: the V2 docker image manifest retrieved from the docker registry is a manifest of the configuration JSON and layer blobs stored by the registry, this is not the same manifest JSON file of the docker image V1.2 image specification.
