Before this patch, `docker image ls` / `docker image ls` would always
show untagged images, but hide "dangling" images (which effectively
only were produced by the legacy builder) unless `-a` / `--all` was
used. This often resulted in many `<none>:<none>` or `<untagged>` images
to be shown, which had little value to interact with, other than to
garbage collect (`docker system prune`).
In future, we want to take more advantage of containerd's garbage-collecting
features (removing unused images automatically), and this UX change is
a stepping stone toward that.
For now, this patch only changes the behavior for `docker image ls --tree`,
but we should make this the same for "non" --tree as well.
This patch:
- changes `docker image ls` to hide both "untagged" and "dangling" images
by default.
- changes the behavior of `--all` on the client side to make them visible
The API response remains the same for now, but this is something we can
consider changing in future (possibly more granular than a single boolean).
Before this patch;
