Ian Campbell 891b3d953e cli-plugins: use `docker system dial-stdio` to call the daemon
This means that plugins can use whatever methods the monolithic CLI supports,
which is good for consistency.

This relies on `os.Args[0]` being something which can be executed again to
reach the same binary, since it is propagated (via an envvar) to the plugin for
this purpose. This essentially requires that the current working directory and
path are not modified by the monolithic CLI before it launches the plugin nor
by the plugin before it initializes the client. This should be the case.

Previously the fake apiclient used by `TestExperimentalCLI` was not being used,
since `cli.Initialize` was unconditionally overwriting it with a real one
(talking to a real daemon during unit testing, it seems). This wasn't expected
nor desirable and no longer happens with the new arrangements, exposing the
fact that no `pingFunc` is provided, leading to a panic. Add a `pingFunc` to
the fake client to avoid this.

README.md

The non-reference docs have been moved!

The documentation for Docker Engine has been merged into the general documentation repo.

See the README for instructions on contributing to and building the documentation.

If you'd like to edit the current published version of the Engine docs, do it in the master branch here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/engine

If you need to document the functionality of an upcoming Engine release, use the vnext-engine branch: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/vnext-engine/engine

The reference docs have been left in docker/docker (this repo), which remains the place to edit them.

The docs in the general repo are open-source and we appreciate your feedback and pull requests!
