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.
Before this patch:

Options:
-a, --all Show all images (default hides intermediate images)

With this patch:
docker images --help
Usage: docker images [OPTIONS] [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
List images
Aliases:
docker image ls, docker image list, docker images
Options:

Before this change, specifying the `--pull` flag without a value, could
result in the flag after it, or the positional argument to be used as
value.
This patch makes sure that the value is an expected value;
docker create --pull --rm hello-world
docker: invalid pull option: '--rm': must be one of "always", "missing" or "never".
docker run --pull --rm hello-world
docker: invalid pull option: '--rm': must be one of "always", "missing" or "never".
docker run --pull hello-world
docker: invalid pull option: 'hello-world': must be one of "always", "missing" or "never".

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.
Before this patch:
docker container ls --help
Usage: docker container ls [OPTIONS]
List containers
Aliases:
ls, ps, list
After this patch:
docker container ls --help
Usage: docker container ls [OPTIONS]
List containers
Aliases:
docker container ls, docker container ps, docker container list

The `DEBIAN_FRONTEND` environment variable is used to control the interface by which debconf questions are presented to the user (see [`man 7 debconf`][1]). In `DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update && apt-get install -y`, the `DEBIAN_FRONTEND` environment variable is only set for the `apt-get update` command which does not ask debconf questions, and will not affect the `apt-get install` command where these questions are actually asked. It should be the other way around.

- do an early check if a custom format is specified either through the
command-line, or through the cli's configuration, before adjusting
the options (to add "size" if needed).
- also removes a redundant `options.Size = opts.size` line, as this value is
already copied at the start of buildContainerListOptions()
- Update NewContainerFormat to use "table" format as a default if no format
was given.
