This patch adds additional information to the Client section of the output.
We were already outputting versions of CLI Plugins, and the Server, but not
for the Client.
Adding this information can help with bug-reports where the reporter only
provided the `docker info` output, or (e.g.) only `docker --version`. The
platform name helps identify what kind of builds the user has installed
(e.g. docker's docker-ce packages have "Docker Engine - Community" set
for this), although we should consider including "packager" information
as a more formalized field for this information.

The non-reference docs have been moved!
The documentation for Docker Engine has been merged into the general documentation repo.
See the README for instructions on contributing to and building the documentation.
If you'd like to edit the current published version of the Engine docs, do it in the master branch here: https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/master/engine
If you need to document the functionality of an upcoming Engine release,
use the vnext-engine branch:
https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/tree/vnext-engine/engine
The reference docs have been left in docker/docker (this repo), which remains the place to edit them.
The docs in the general repo are open-source and we appreciate your feedback and pull requests!
