More improvements can be made, but this makes a start on cleaning up
this page:
- Reorganise configuration file options into sections
- Use tables for related options to make them easier to find
- Add warning about the config file's possibility to contain sensitive information
- Some MarkDown touch-ups (use "console" code-hint to assist copy/paste)

This is mostly a copy of the equivalent `docker secret` commands,
which uses the same mechanisms behind the hood (hence, are 90% the
same).
We can make further refinements to these docs, but this gives us
a starting point.
Adding these documents, because there were some links pointing to
these pages in the docs, but there was no markdown file to link to
on GitHub.

- rename "experimental" to "labs"
- rephrase recommendation for picking a version
- clarify that the "labs" channel provides a superset of the "stable" channel.
- remove "External implementation features" section, because it overlapped
with the "syntax" section.
- removed `:latest` from the "stable" channel (generally not recommended)

Docker Engine v20.10 and up includes optimizations to verify if images in the
local image cache need updating before pulling, preventing the Docker Engine
from making unnecessary API requests. These optimizations require the container
image registry to conform to the Open Container Initiative Distribution Specification
(https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec).
While most registries conform to the specification, we encountered some registries
to be non-compliant, resulting in `docker pull` to fail.
As a temporary solution, Docker Engine v20.10 includes a fallback mechanism to
allow `docker pull` to be functional when using a non-compliant registry. A
warning message is printed in this situation:
WARNING Failed to pull manifest by the resolved digest. This registry does not
appear to conform to the distribution registry specification; falling back to
pull by tag. This fallback is DEPRECATED, and will be removed in a future
release.
The fallback is added to allow users to either migrate their images to a compliant
registry, or for these registries to become compliant.
Note that this fallback only addresses failures on `docker pull`. Other commands,
such as `docker stack deploy`, or pulling images with `containerd` will continue
to fail.
Given that other functionality is still broken with these registries, we consider
this fallback a _temporary_ solution, and will remove the fallback in an upcoming
major release.

Looks like the YAML conversion doesn't like lines starting with `[`, and
causing it to use the "compact" formatting in the generated YAML.
This patch un-wraps these lines to prevent this.

Docker v17.07 introduced an experimental `--stream` flag on `docker build` which
allowed the build-context to be incrementally sent to the daemon, instead of
unconditionally sending the whole build-context.
This functionality has been reimplemented as part of BuildKit, which uses streaming
by default and the `--stream` option will be ignored when using the classic builder,
printing a deprecation warning instead.
Users that want to use this feature are encouraged to enable BuildKit by setting
the `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1` environment variable or through the daemon or CLI configuration
files.

The experimental feature to run Linux containers on Windows (LCOW) was introduced
as a technical preview in Docker 17.09. While many enhancements were made after
its introduction, the feature never reached completeness, and development has
now stopped in favor of running docker natively on Linux in WSL2.
Developers that need to run Linux workloads on a Windows host are encouraged
to use Docker Desktop with WSL2 instead.

The CLI disabled experimental features by default, requiring users
to set a configuration option to enable them.
Disabling experimental features was a request from Enterprise users
that did not want experimental features to be accessible.
We are changing this policy, and now enable experimental features
by default. Experimental features may still change and/or removed,
and will be highlighted in the documentation and "usage" output.
For example, the `docker manifest inspect --help` output now shows:
EXPERIMENTAL:
docker manifest inspect is an experimental feature.
Experimental features provide early access to product functionality. These features
may change between releases without warning or can be removed entirely from a future
release. Learn more about experimental features: https://docs.docker.com/go/experimental/

Some deprecations are ammended during a major (YY.MM) release, to

If a file contains trailing whitespace, the YAML generator uses a

The Dockerfile `ENV` instruction allows values to be set using either `ENV name=value`
or `ENV name value`. The latter (`ENV name value`) form can be ambiguous, for example,
the following defines a single env-variable (`ONE`) with value `"TWO= THREE=world"`,
but may have intended to be setting three env-vars:
ENV ONE TWO= THREE=world
This format also does not allow setting multiple environment-variables in a single
`ENV` line in the Dockerfile.
Use of the `ENV name value` syntax is discouraged, and may be removed in a future
release. Users are encouraged to update their Dockerfiles to use the `ENV name=value`
syntax, for example:
ENV ONE="" TWO="" THREE="world"
