Through the `DOCKER_CLI_MOUNTS` and `DOCKER_CLI_SHELL` env variables. Also allows setting the dev container name through the `DOCKER_CLI_CONTAINER_NAME` env var. The motivation for allowing overriding the volume mounts is the same as for moby/moby#37845, namely that I/O perf on native mounted disks on non-Linux (notably Mac OS) is just terrible, thus making it a real pain to develop: one has to choose between re-building the image after every single change (eg to run a test) or just work directly inside the same container (eg with vim, but even then one would have to re-configure their dev container every time it gets destroyed - containers, after all, are not supposed to be long-lived). Allowing to override DOCKER_CLI_MOUNTS makes it easy for everyone to decide what their volume/syncing strategy is; for example one can choose to use [docker-sync](https://github.com/EugenMayer/docker-sync). As for the shell, it's nice to be able to use bash instead of the more bare-bones `ash` if preferred. Finally, being able to name the container can come in handy for easier scripting on the host. This patch won't change anything for anyone who doesn't set these env variables in their environment. Signed-off-by: Jean Rouge <rougej+github@gmail.com>
