add top-level "docker bake" command as alias for "docker buildx bake"
The [`docker buildx bake`][1] command has reached GA; this patch adds
a top-level `docker bake` command as alias for `docker buildx bake` to
improve discoverability and make it more convenient to use.

With this patch:

    docker --help

    Usage:  docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND

    A self-sufficient runtime for containers

    Common Commands:
      run         Create and run a new container from an image
      exec        Execute a command in a running container
      ps          List containers
      build       Build an image from a Dockerfile
      bake        Build from a file
      pull        Download an image from a registry
      push        Upload an image to a registry
      images      List images
    ...

The command is hidden if buildx is not installed;

    docker --help
    Usage:  docker [OPTIONS] COMMAND

    A self-sufficient runtime for containers

    Common Commands:
      run         Create and run a new container from an image
      exec        Execute a command in a running container
      ps          List containers
      build       Build an image from a Dockerfile
      pull        Download an image from a registry
      push        Upload an image to a registry
      images      List images
    ...

We can do some tweaking after this; currently it show an error
in situations where buildx is missing. We don't account for
"DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0", because this is a new feature that requires
buildx, and cannot be "disabled";

buildx missing;

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!
