Brian Goff 03c6949739 Add docker plugin upgrade
This allows a plugin to be upgraded without requiring to
uninstall/reinstall a plugin.
Since plugin resources (e.g. volumes) are tied to a plugin ID, this is
important to ensure resources aren't lost.

The plugin must be disabled while upgrading (errors out if enabled).
This does not add any convenience flags for automatically
disabling/re-enabling the plugin during before/after upgrade.

Since an upgrade may change requested permissions, the user is required
to accept permissions just like `docker plugin install`.

plugin disable

Usage:  docker plugin disable [OPTIONS] PLUGIN

Disable a plugin

Options:
  -f, --force   Force the disable of an active plugin
      --help    Print usage

Disables a plugin. The plugin must be installed before it can be disabled, see docker plugin install. Without the -f option, a plugin that has references (eg, volumes, networks) cannot be disabled.

The following example shows that the sample-volume-plugin plugin is installed and enabled:

$ docker plugin ls

ID                  NAME                             TAG                 DESCRIPTION                ENABLED
69553ca1d123        tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin   latest              A test plugin for Docker   true

To disable the plugin, use the following command:

$ docker plugin disable tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin

tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin

$ docker plugin ls

ID                  NAME                             TAG                 DESCRIPTION                ENABLED
69553ca1d123        tiborvass/sample-volume-plugin   latest              A test plugin for Docker   false
