Doc for sample project is out of sync with latest repo/tool versions

As of Jan.09.2019, when following the instructions from mynewt-documentation/docs/get_started/docker.rst and then mynewt-documentation/docs/get_started/project_create.rst , the version of the newt tool in the "latest" docker image will be 1.3.0 (cited as 1.1.0 in docker.rst) "user@~/dockertest/myproj$ ../newt version Apache Newt version: 1.1.0"

...and when following steps in project_create.rst, with the default project.yml file 'newt new myproj' creates, it will pull down version 1.5.0 of the project/core ...which when executing the command to run a test after the 'install', will yield this error:

" newt test @apache-mynewt-core/sys/config

Error: This version of newt (1.3.0) is incompatible with your version of the apache-mynewt-core repo (1.5.0); Please upgrade your newt tool to version 1.5.0 "

Since this is a guide intended for the inexperienced Mynewt OS and newt tool user, it's highly problematic that it isn't completely error/mistake free
