fix: show virtual docker pull command before Docker availability errors (issue #89)
6+
7+
When running `$ --isolated docker --image <image> -- <command>` and Docker is
8+
not installed or not running, `start-command` now shows the virtual
9+
`$ docker pull <image>` command that was being attempted before displaying the
10+
error message.
11+
12+
Before:
13+
14+
```
15+
│ isolation docker
16+
│ mode attached
17+
│ image konard/sandbox
18+
│ container docker-1773150604263-i87zla
19+
20+
Error: Docker is not installed. Install Docker from https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
21+
```
22+
23+
After:
24+
25+
```
26+
│ isolation docker
27+
│ mode attached
28+
│ image konard/sandbox
29+
│ container docker-1773150604263-i87zla
30+
31+
$ docker pull konard/sandbox
32+
33+
34+
35+
36+
Error: Docker is not installed. Install Docker from https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
37+
```
38+
39+
This makes it clear to users what `start-command` was attempting to do and
40+
why Docker is needed, improving the debugging experience.
