The package defined various special errors; these errors existed for two reasons;
- being able to distinguish "not found" errors from other errors (as "not found"
errors can be ignored in various cases).
- to be able to update the context _name_ in the error message after the error
was created. This was needed in cases where the name was not available at the
location where the error was produced (e.g. only the "id" was present), and
the helpers to detect "not found" errors did not support wrapped errors (so
wrapping the error with a "name" could break logic); a `setContextName` interface
and corresponding `patchErrContextName()` utility was created for this (which
was a "creative", but not very standard approach).
This patch:
- Removes the special error-types, replacing them with errdefs definitions (which
is a more common approach in our code-base to detect error types / classes).
- Removes the internal utilities for error-handling, and deprecates the exported
utilities (to allow external consumers to adjust their code).
- Some errors have been enriched with detailed information (which may be useful
for debugging / problem solving).
- Note that in some cases, `patchErrContextName()` was called, but the code
producing the error would never return a `setContextName` error, so would
never update the error message.

Before this change, running `docker context rm --force` would fail if the context
did not exist. This behavior was different from other commands, which allowed
ignoring non-existing objects.
For example; when trying to remove a non-existing volume, the command would
fail without "force":
```bash
docker volume rm nosuchvolume
Error: No such volume: nosuchvolume
echo $?
1
```
But using the `-f` / `--force` option would make the command complete successfully
(the error itself is still printed for informational purposes);
```bash
docker volume rm -f nosuchvolume
nosuchvolume
echo $?
0
```
With this patch, `docker context rm` behaves the same:
```bash
docker context rm nosuchcontext
context "nosuchcontext" does not exist
echo $?
1
```
```bash
docker context rm -f nosuchcontext
nosuchcontext
echo $?
0
```
This patch also simplifies how we check if the context exists; previously we
would try to read the context's metadata; this could fail if a context was
corrupted, or if an empty directory was present. This patch now only checks
if the directory exists, without first validating the context's data.

This will allow plugins to have custom typed endpoints, as well as
create/remove/update contexts with the exact same results as the main
CLI (thinking of things like `docker ee login https://my-ucp-server
--context ucp-prod)`
