Add a "completion" target to install the generated completion
scripts inside the dev-container. As generating this script
depends on the docker binary, it calls "make binary" first.

It's not initialized, because there's no `docker` command installed
by default, but at least this makes sure that the basics are present
for testing.

This allows dockerMain() to return an error "as usual", and puts the
responsibility for turning that into an appropriate exit-code in
main() (which also sets the exit-code when terminating).
We could consider putting this utility in the cli package and exporting
it if would be useful for doing a similar handling in plugins.

The logic in this function is confusing; let's start make it obvious where
the error that is returned is produced,

This confused me fore a bit, because I thought the test was checking for
an actual `context.Canceled` error (which is spelled "context canceled"
with a single "l". But then I found that this was a string that's printed
as part of a test-utility, just looking very similar but with the British
spelling ("cancelled").
Let's change this to a message that's unique for the test, also to make it
more grep'able.

Improve the output for these validation errors:
- Removes the short command description from the output. This information
does not provide much useful help, and distracts from the error message.
- Reduces punctuation, and
- Prefixes the error message with the binary / root-command name
(usually `docker:`) to be consistent with other similar errors.
- Adds an empty line between the error-message and the "call to action"
(`Run 'docker volume --help'...` in the example below). This helps
separating the error message and "usage" from the call-to-action.
Before this patch:
$ docker volume ls one two three
"docker volume ls" accepts no arguments.
See 'docker volume ls --help'.
Usage: docker volume ls [OPTIONS]
List volumes
$ docker volume create one two three
"docker volume create" requires at most 1 argument.
See 'docker volume create --help'.
Usage: docker volume create [OPTIONS] [VOLUME]
Create a volume

Before this patch, output for invalid top-level and sub-commands differed.
For top-level commands, the CLI would print an error-message and a suggestion
to use `--help`. For missing *subcommands*, we would hit a different code-path,
and different output, which includes full "usage" / "help" output.
While it is a common convention to show usage output, and may have been
a nice gesture when docker was still young and only had a few commands
and options ("you did something wrong; here's an overview of what you
can use"), that's no longer the case, and many commands have a _very_
long output.
The result of this is that the error message, which is the relevant
information in this case - "You mis-typed something" - is lost in the
output, and hard to find (sometimes even requiring scrolling back).
The output is also confusing, because it _looks_ like something ran
successfully (most of the output is not about the error!).
Even further; the suggested resolution (try `--help` to see the correct
options) is rather redundant, because running teh command with `--help`
produces _exactly_ the same output as was just showh, baring the error
message. As a fun fact, due to the usage output being printed, the
output even contains not one, but _two_ "call to actions";
- `See 'docker volume --help'.` (under the erro message)
- `Run 'docker volume COMMAND --help' for more information on a command.`
(under the usage output)
In short; the output is too verbose, confusing, and doesn't provide
a good UX. Let's reduce the output produced so that the focus is on the
important information.
This patch:
- Changes the usage to the short-usage.
- Changes the error-message to mention the _full_ command instead of only
the command after `docker` (so `docker no-such-command` instead of
`no-such-command`).
- Prefixes the error message with the binary / root-command name
(usually `docker:`); this is something we can still decide on, but
it's a pattern we already use in some places. The motivation for this
is that `docker` commands can often produce output that's a combination
of output from the CLI itself, output from the daemon, and even output
from the container. The `docker:` prefix helps to distinguish where
the message originated from (the `docker` CLI in this case).
- Adds an empty line between the error-message and the "call to action"
(`Run 'docker volume --help'...` in the example below). This helps
separating the error message ("unkown flag") from the call-to-action.

This error didn't do a great job at formatting. If a StatusError was
produced without a Status message, it would print a very non-informative
error, with information missing.
Let's update the output:
- If a status-message is provided; print just that (after all the
status code is something that can be found from the shell, e.g.
through `echo $?` in Bash).
- If no status-message is provided: print a message more similar to
Go's `exec.ExecError`, which uses `os.rocessState.String()` (see [1]).
Before this patch, an error without custom status would print:
Status: , Code: 2
After this patch:
exit status 2
In situations where a custom error-message is provided, the error-message
is print as-is, whereas before this patch, the message got combined with
the `Status:` and `Code:`, which resulted in some odd output.
Before this patch:
docker volume --no-such-flag
Status: unknown flag: --no-such-flag
See 'docker volume --help'.
Usage: docker volume COMMAND
Manage volumes
Commands:
create Create a volume
inspect Display detailed information on one or more volumes

prune Remove unused local volumes
