### Support registry token (#482)
To scan a private image, you can pass a registry token instead of ID/PW. This is useful when you develop a registry integration such as Harbor and Quay.
```
$ export TRIVY_REGISTRY_TOKEN=$(curl -u "username:password" "https://auth.docker.io/token?service=registry.docker.io&scope=repository:org/private_image:pull")
$ trivy org/private_image:latest
```
