Make use of existing modules and functions in order to output the merged configs.
Added skip interpolation flag of variables, so that you can pipe the output back to stack deploy without much hassle.

# stack config
```markdown
Usage: docker stack config [OPTIONS]
Outputs the final config file, after doing merges and interpolations
Aliases:
config, cfg
Options:
-c, --compose-file strings Path to a Compose file, or "-" to read from stdin
--orchestrator string Orchestrator to use (swarm|kubernetes|all)
--skip-interpolation Skip interpolation and output only merged config
```
## Description
Outputs the final Compose file, after doing the merges and interpolations of the input Compose files.
## Examples
The following command outputs the result of the merge and interpolation of two Compose files.
```bash
$ docker stack config --compose-file docker-compose.yml --compose-file docker-compose.prod.yml
```
The Compose file can also be provided as standard input with `--compose-file -`:
```bash
$ cat docker-compose.yml | docker stack config --compose-file -
```
### Skipping interpolation
In some cases, it might be useful to skip interpolation of environment variables.
For example, when you want to pipe the output of this command back to `stack deploy`.
If you have a regex for a redirect route in an environment variable for your webserver you would use two `$` signs to prevent `stack deploy` from interpolating `${1}`.
```bash
service: webserver
environment:
REDIRECT_REGEX=http://host/redirect/$${1}
```
With interpolation, the `stack config` command will replace the environment variable in the Compose file
with `REDIRECT_REGEX=http://host/redirect/${1}`, but then when piping it back to the `stack deploy`
command it will be interpolated again and result in undefined behavior.
That is why, when piping the output back to `stack deploy` one should always prefer the `--skip-interpolation` option.
```
$ docker stack config --compose-file web.yml --compose-file web.prod.yml --skip-interpolation | docker stack deploy --compose-file -
```
