The daemon currently provides support for API versions all the way back
to v1.12, which is the version of the API that shipped with docker 1.0. On
Windows, the minimum supported version is v1.24.
Such old versions of the client are rare, and supporting older API versions
has accumulated significant amounts of code to remain backward-compatible
(which is largely untested, and a "best-effort" at most).
This patch updates the minimum API version to v1.24, which is the fallback
API version used when API-version negotiation fails. The intent is to start
deprecating older API versions, but no code is removed yet as part of this
patch, and a DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION environment variable is added, which
allows overriding the minimum version (to allow restoring the behavior from
before this patch).
With this patch the daemon defaults to API v1.24 as minimum:

Trying to use an older version of the API produces an error:
DOCKER_API_VERSION=1.23 docker version
Client:
Version: 24.0.2
API version: 1.23 (downgraded from 1.43)

Error response from daemon: client version 1.23 is too old. Minimum supported API version is 1.24, please upgrade your client to a newer version
To restore the previous minimum, users can start the daemon with the
DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION environment variable set:
DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION=1.12 dockerd
API 1.12 is the oldest supported API version on Linux;

When using the `DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION` with a version of the API that
is not supported, an error is produced when starting the daemon;
DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION=1.11 dockerd --validate
invalid DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION: minimum supported API version is 1.12: 1.11
DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION=1.45 dockerd --validate
invalid DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION: maximum supported API version is 1.44: 1.45
Specifying a malformed API version also produces the same error;
DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION=hello dockerd --validate
invalid DOCKER_MIN_API_VERSION: minimum supported API version is 1.12: hello

The Server.cfg field is never referenced by any code in package
"./api/server". "./api/server".Config struct values are used by
DaemonCli code, but only to pass around configuration copied out of the
daemon config within the "./cmd/dockerd" package. Delete the
"./api/server".Config struct definition and refactor the "./cmd/dockerd"
package to pull configuration directly from cli.Config.

Since Go 1.7, context is a standard package. Since Go 1.9, everything
that is provided by "x/net/context" is a couple of type aliases to
types in "context".
Many vendored packages still use x/net/context, so vendor entry remains
for now.

This makes separating middlewares from the core api easier.
As an example, the authorization middleware is moved to
it's own package.
Initialize all static middlewares when the server is created, reducing
allocations every time a route is wrapper with the middlewares.

The server configuration already keeps the current version
if the daemon. This patch changes the middleware logic
to use it rather than using the global value.
This removes the dockerversion package dependency from the api.

Implement basic interfaces to write custom routers that can be plugged
to the server. Remove server coupling with the daemon.

It defines global middlewares for every request.
This makes the server slightly more composable.
