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:
docker images --help
Usage: docker images [OPTIONS] [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]
List images
Options:
-a, --all Show all images (default hides intermediate images)
...

Usage: docker images [OPTIONS] [REPOSITORY[:TAG]]

Aliases:
docker image ls, docker image list, docker images
Options:

This replaces the use of bash where suitable, to allow easier copy/pasting
of shell examples without copying the prompt or process output.

these markdown files are not consumed directly in the docs,
but only their content is included through the YAML does,
so there's no need to have these comments in them

Since CLI was moved to a separate repo, these references are incorrect.
Fixed with the help of sed script, verified manually.

Command name should be a H1
Only Description, Examples, and Related Commands should be H2
Changed 'Related information' heading to 'Related commands' since 99% it is only linking commands
Added some examples where relevant
