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 `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.

The code is similar to that used by the volume rm subcommand, however,
one difference I noticed was VolumeRemove takes the force flag/option
was a parameter. This isn't the case for NetworkRemove.
To get NetworkRemove to take a similar parameter, this would require
modifying the Docker daemon. For now this isn't a route I wish to take
when the code can be arrange to mimic the same behavior.

The `~/.dockercfg` file was replaced by `~/.docker/config.json` in 2015
(github.com/docker/docker/commit/18c9b6c6455f116ae59cde8544413b3d7d294a5e),
but the CLI still falls back to checking if this file exists if no current
(`~/.docker/config.json`) file was found.
Given that no version of the CLI since Docker v1.7.0 has created this file,
and if such a file exists, it means someone hasn't re-authenticated for
5 years, it's probably safe to remove this fallback.

This feature allowed using an encrypted private key with a supplied password,
but did not provide additional security as the encryption is known to be broken,
and the key is sitting next to the password in the filesystem. Users are recommended
to decrypt the private key, and store it un-encrypted to continue using it.

The DefaultStopSignal const has been deprecated, because the daemon already

potentially be different as was specified here.

- make sure the target directory is created if missing
- add support for custom ID's in headings through `<a>` tags (e.g.

in Jekyll (which does).
- add code to cleanup markdown for use in our docs:
- remove absolute URLs to https://docs.docker.com
- remove tabs in MarkDown, and convert them to 4 spaces. This
prevents the YAML conversion from switching between "short"
and "long" syntax. Tabs in code examples also don't always
work well, so using spaces doesn't hurt for that.
- refactor some code for readability, and to be less "hacky" (still
lots to be improved though)

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.

This functionality has been reimplemented as part of BuildKit, which uses streaming

printing a deprecation warning instead.
