image ls --tree: order images alphabetically
The tree output currently uses the same sort order as the existing
non-tree output, and orders the images by "created" time in descending
order;

    docker image ls
    REPOSITORY       TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED          SIZE
    <none>           <none>    8262a6d8c38a   7 minutes ago    13.6MB
    docker-cli-dev   latest    f5f0547476ee   12 minutes ago   762MB
    nginx            alpine    2140dad235c1   2 weeks ago      76.7MB
    alpine           latest    beefdbd8a1da   6 weeks ago      24.2MB

However, the `--tree` view does not have a `CREATED` column, which makes
the output order seem "random". With the tree view being more verbose,
it may also be harder to find back images in the list when they're not sorted
in an easy to discover way.

This patch changes the sort order:

- alphabetically (natural sort) for tagged images
- untagged images are sorted last, as they're likely less relevant
  to the user, and should not be "polluting" th top of the list.
- if multiple untagged images exist, they are sorted by created
  date (descending) to get a stable order.

Before this patch:

    $ docker image ls --tree
