Cobra's shell completion has specific rules to decide whether a flag can
be accepted multiple times. If a flag does not meet that rule, it only
completes the flag name once; some of those rules depend on the "type"
of the option to end with "Array" or "Slice", which most of our options
don't.
Starting with Cobra 1.9, it also checks whether an option implements
the [cobra.SliceValue] interface (see [spf13/cobra 2210]).
This patch implements the [cobra.SliceValue] interface on ListOpts, so
that these options can be completed multiple times.
In a follow-up, we can update our code to replace our uses of `GetAll()`,
which is identical with the `GetSlice()` method, and potentially deprecate
the old method.
Before this patch, ListOpts would only be completed once when completing
flag names. For example, the following would show the `--label` flag the
first time, but omit it if a `--label` flag was already set;
docker run--l<TAB>
--label (Set meta data on a container) --link-local-ip (Container IPv4/IPv6 link-local addresses)
--label-file (Read in a line delimited file of labels) --log-driver (Logging driver for the container)
--link (Add link to another container) --log-opt (Log driver options)
docker run --label hello --l<TAB>
--label-file (Read in a line delimited file of labels) --link-local-ip (Container IPv4/IPv6 link-local addresses) --log-opt (Log driver options)
--link (Add link to another container) --log-driver (Logging driver for the container)
With this patch, the completion script correctly identifies the `--label`
flag to be accepted multiple times, and also completes it when already
set;
docker run --label hello --l<TAB>
--label (Set meta data on a container) --link-local-ip (Container IPv4/IPv6 link-local addresses)
--label-file (Read in a line delimited file of labels) --log-driver (Logging driver for the container)
--link (Add link to another container) --log-opt (Log driver options)
