Add section on specifying k8s version for minikube (#5172) 

I struggled to discover information on how to specify a kubernetes
version when starting minikube. Ultimately, I found the answer through
searching Github issues, and also running `minikube start --help`.

Given it seems like a fairly common task, I think it could be useful to
include it in the getting started documentation.

Minikube will also create a "minikube" context, and set it to default in kubectl.
To switch back to this context later, run this command: `kubectl config use-context minikube`.
#### Specifying the Kubernetes version
Minikube supports running multiple different versions of Kubernetes. You can
access a list of all available versions via
```
minikube get-k8s-versions
```
You can specify the specific version of Kubernetes for Minikube to use by
adding the `--kubernetes-version` string to the `minikube start` command. For
example, to run version `v1.7.3`, you would run the following:
```
minikube start --kubernetes-version v1.7.3
```
### Configuring Kubernetes
Minikube has a "configurator" feature that allows users to configure the Kubernetes components with arbitrary values.
