The flag-set that was returned is a pointer to the command's Flags(), which
is in itself passed by reference (as it is modified / set up).
This patch removes the flags return, to prevent assuming it's different than
the command's flags.
While SetupRootCommand is exported, a search showed that it's only used internally,
so changing the signature should not be a problem.

This flag was kept separate from the other flags, because at the time, the
CLI code and Daemon code still used the same codebase, and shared some parts.
This option only applied to the `docker` CLI, and thus was kept separate when
migrating to Cobra in 0452ff5a4d
Now that this code is only used for the CLI (and plugins), we can move this
flag together with the other flags.

CommonOptions was inherited from when the cli and daemon were in the same
repository, and some options would be shared between them. That's no longer
the case, and some options are even "incorrect" (for example, while the
daemon can be configured to run on multiple hosts, the CLI can only connect
with a single host / connection). This patch does not (yet) address that,
but merges the CommonOptions into the ClientOptions.
An alias is created for the old type, although it doesn't appear there's
any external consumers using the CommonOptions type (or its constructor).

Cobra allows for aliases to be defined for a command, but only allows these
to be defined at the same level (for example, `docker image ls` as alias for
`docker image list`). Our CLI has some commands that are available both as a
top-level shorthand as well as `docker <object> <verb>` subcommands. For example,
`docker ps` is a shorthand for `docker container ps` / `docker container ls`.
This patch introduces a custom "aliases" annotation that can be used to print
all available aliases for a command. While this requires these aliases to be
defined manually, in practice the list of aliases rarely changes, so maintenance
should be minimal.
As a convention, we could consider the first command in this list to be the
canonical command, so that we can use this information to add redirects in
our documentation in future.

The default output for Cobra aliases only shows the subcommand as alias, which
is not very intuitive. This patch changes the output to print the full command
as it would be called by the user.
Note that there's still some improvements to be made; due to how aliases must be
set-up in Cobra, aliases at different "levels" are still not shown. So for example,
`docker ps --help` will not show `docker container ps` as alias, and vice-versa.
This will require additional changes, and can possibly be resolved using custom
metadata/annotations.

This adds a new annotation to commands that are known to be frequently
used, and allows setting a custom weight/order for these commands to
influence in what order they appear in the --help output.
I'm not entirely happy with the implementation (we could at least use
some helpers for this, and/or make it more generic to group commands
in output), but it could be a start.
For now, limiting this to only be used for the top-level --help, but
we can expand this to subcommands as well if we think it makes sense
to highlight "common" / "commonly used" commands.

Before this change, the top-level flags, such as `--config` and `--tlscacert`,
were printed at the top of the `--help` output. These flags are not used
frequently, and putting them at the top, made the information that's more

This patch moves the top-level flags for the root command (`docker`) to the
bottom of the help output, putting the subcommands more prominent in view.

In the initial implementation I thought it would be good to not pass on the
deprecation to plugins (since they are new). However it turns out this causes
`docker helloworld -h` to print a spurious "pflag: help requested" line:
$ docker helloworld -h
pflag: help requested
See 'docker helloworld --help'.
Usage: docker helloworld [OPTIONS] COMMAND
A basic Hello World plugin for tests
...
Compared with:
$ docker ps -h
Flag shorthand -h has been deprecated, please use --help
Usage: docker ps [OPTIONS]
This is in essence because having the flag undefined hits a different path
within cobra, causing `c.execute()` to return early due to getting an error
(`flag.ErrHelp`) from `c.ParseFlags`, which launders the error through our
`FlagErrorFunc` which wraps it in a `StatusError` which in turn defeats an `if
err == flag.ErrHelp` check further up the call chain. If the flag is defined we
instead hit a path which returns a bare `flag.ErrHelp` without wrapping it.
I considered updating our `FlagErrorFunc` to not wrap `flag.ErrHelp` (and then
following the chain to the next thing) however while doing that I realised that
the code for `-h` (and `--help`) is deeply embedded into cobra (and its flags
library) such that actually using `-h` as a plugin argument meaning something
other than `help` is basically impossible/impractical. Therefore we may as well
have plugins behave identically to the monolithic CLI and support (deprecated)
the `-h` argument.
With this changed the help related blocks of `SetupRootCommand` and
`SetupPluginRootCommand` are now identical, so consolidate into
`setupCommonRootCommand`.
Tests are updated to check `-h` in a variety of scenarios, including the happy
case here.

The issue with plugin options clashing with globals is that when cobra is
parsing the command line and it comes across an argument which doesn't start
with a `-` it (in the absence of plugins) distinguishes between "argument to
current command" and "new subcommand" based on the list of registered sub
commands.
Plugins breaks that model. When presented with `docker -D plugin -c foo` cobra
parses up to the `plugin`, sees it isn't a registered sub-command of the
top-level docker (because it isn't, it's a plugin) so it accumulates it as an
argument to the top-level `docker` command. Then it sees the `-c`, and thinks
it is the global `-c` (for AKA `--context`) option and tries to treat it as
that, which fails.
In the specific case of the top-level `docker` subcommand we know that it has
no arguments which aren't `--flags` (or `-f` short flags) and so anything which
doesn't start with a `-` must either be a (known) subcommand or an attempt to
execute a plugin.
We could simply scan for and register all installed plugins at start of day, so
that cobra can do the right thing, but we want to avoid that since it would
involve executing each plugin to fetch the metadata, even if the command wasn't
going to end up hitting a plugin.
Instead we can parse the initial set of global arguments separately before
hitting the main cobra `Execute` path, which works here exactly because we know
that the top-level has no non-flag arguments.
One slight wrinkle is that the top-level `PersistentPreRunE` is no longer
called on the plugins path (since it no longer goes via `Execute`), so we
arrange for the initialisation done there (which has to be done after global
flags are parsed to handle e.g. `--config`) to happen explictly after the
global flags are parsed. Rather than make `newDockerCommand` return the
complicated set of results needed to make this happen, instead return a closure
which achieves this.
The new functionality is introduced via a common `TopLevelCommand` abstraction
which lets us adjust the plugin entrypoint to use the same strategy for parsing
the global arguments. This isn't strictly required (in this case the stuff in
cobra's `Execute` works fine) but doing it this way avoids the possibility of
subtle differences in behaviour.
