[PATCH 1/2] Add mips Debian 8 container

[Skyler Mäntysaari]

That command basically executes an container in privileged mode which enables qemu emulation for mips architecture only. 
Docker doesn't emulate it natively per se,  which is why the usage of QEMU is required because otherwise the container will not be able to even run sed command. 

You can read more about that specific container here: https://github.com/dbhi/qus.

I also wasn't sure where that command should be done as it needs to be done on the host which is executing the container.
