UNIQUE SIZE column of docker system df -v should sum to total image occupancy

[gr1mpatr0n]

Description

NOTE: I am listing this as a bug as I believe UNIQUE SIZE must sum to the total image occupancy as reported by docker system df.

The output of docker system df -v is not as useful as it could be. As it currently stands, many images may "pretend" to be completely shared (UNIQUE SIZE of 0B) as the top-level layer is a nop.

This yields the degenerative case where a docker image whose last build step is something like an ENV will always show a unique size of 0B.

A quick fix for this would be to show untagged/intermediate layers (such as in docker images -a).

A better fix would be to improve this view to show layer hierarchies and sharing relationships. This is an important debug tool for registry optimisation, but it still isn't present in the CLI.

Reproduce

docker system df -v
