Sebastiaan van Stijn ca1c5ee08f pkg/stringid: move to daemon, and provide copy in client
The stringid package is used in many places; while it's trivial
to implement a similar utility, let's just provide it as a utility
package in the client, removing the daemon-specific logic.

For integration tests, I opted to use the implementation in the
client, as those should not ideally not make assumptions about
the daemon implementation.

// Package stringid provides helper functions for dealing with string identifiers.
//
// It is similar to the package used by the daemon, but for presentational
// purposes in the client.

// TruncateID returns a shorthand version of a string identifier for presentation.
// For convenience, it accepts both digests ("sha256:xxxx") and IDs without an
// algorithm prefix. It truncates the algorithm (if any) before truncating the
// ID. The length of the truncated ID is currently fixed, but users should make
// no assumptions of this to not change; it is merely a prefix of the ID that
// provides enough uniqueness for common scenarios.
//
// Truncated IDs ("ID-prefixes") usually can be used to uniquely identify an
// object (such as a container or network), but collisions may happen, in
// which case an "ambiguous result" error is produced. In case of a collision,
// the caller should try with a longer prefix or the full-length ID.
