docs: fix, and touch-up "docker context" docs
Using `/var/run/docker.sock` as docker host is invalid, and causes
an error, so adding `unix://` to it.

In addition, we document the name of the context to go after the
options, so change the order in the examples.

# context export
```markdown
Usage: docker context export [OPTIONS] CONTEXT [FILE|-]
Export a context to a tar or kubeconfig file
Options:
--kubeconfig Export as a kubeconfig file
```
## Description
Exports a context in a file that can then be used with `docker context import`
(or with `kubectl` if `--kubeconfig` is set). Default output filename is
`<CONTEXT>.dockercontext`, or `<CONTEXT>.kubeconfig` if `--kubeconfig` is set.
To export to `STDOUT`, you can run `docker context export my-context -`.
