Sebastiaan van Stijn 86c30e6a0d add --signal option to stop and restart
Wording and documentation still need to be updated, but will do
so in a follow-up.

Also removing the default "10 seconds" from the timeout flags, as
this default is not actually used, and may not match the actual
default (which is defined on the daemon side).

# stop
```markdown
Usage: docker stop [OPTIONS] CONTAINER [CONTAINER...]
Stop one or more running containers
Options:
-s, --signal string Signal to send to the container
-t, --time int Seconds to wait before killing the container
```
## Description
The main process inside the container will receive `SIGTERM`, and after a grace
period, `SIGKILL`. The first signal can be changed with the `STOPSIGNAL`
instruction in the container's Dockerfile, or the `--stop-signal` option to
`docker run`.
## Examples
```console
$ docker stop my_container
```
