The `reportError` utility was present because cli.StatusError would print
the error decorated with `Status: <error-message>, Code: <exit-code>`.
That was not desirable in many cases as it would mess-up the output. To
prevent this, the CLI had code to check for an empty `Status` (error message)
in which case the error would be "ignored" (and only used for the exit-status),
and the `reportError` utility would be used to manually print a custom error
message before returning the error.
Now that bca2090061 fixed the output format
of `cli.StatusError`, and 3dd6fc365d and
350a0b68a9 no longer discard these error,
we can get rid of this utility, and just set the error-message for
the status-error.
This patch:
- Introduces a `withHelp` which takes care of decorating errors with
a "Run --help" hint for the user.
- Introduces a `toStatusError` utility that detects certain errors in
the container to assign a corresponding exit-code (these error-codes
can be used to distinguish "client" errors from "container" errors).
- Removes the `reportError` utility, and removes code that manually
printed errors before returning.
Behavior is mostly unmodified, with the exception of some slight reformatting
of the errors:
- `withHelp` adds a `docker:` prefix to the error, to indicate the error
is produced by the `docker` command. This prefix was already present
in most cases.
- The "--help" hint is slightly updated ("Run 'docker run --help' for
more information" instead of "See 'docker run --help'"), to make it
more clear that it's a "call to action".
- An empty is added before the "--help" hint to separate it better from
the error-message.
