Improve swarm join-token instructions
this change improves the instructions for
swarm join-token and swarm init;

- only print the join-token command for workers
  instead of for both managers and workers, to
  prevent users from copying the wrong command.
  An extra line is added to explain how to obtain
  the manager token.
- print a message that a token was rotated
  sucesfully if '--rotate' is used.
- add some extra white-space before / after
  the join commands, to make copy/pasting
  easier.

this change also does some refactoring of join-token;

- move flagname-constants together with other constants
- use variables for selected role ("worker" / "manager")
  to prevent checking for them multiple times, and to
  keep the "worker" / "manager" sting centralized
- add an extra blank line after "join-token" instructions
  this makes it easier to copy, and cleans up the
  code a tiny bit

swarm init

Usage:  docker swarm init [OPTIONS]

Initialize a swarm

Options:
      --advertise-addr value            Advertised address (format: <ip|interface>[:port])
      --cert-expiry duration            Validity period for node certificates (default 2160h0m0s)
      --dispatcher-heartbeat duration   Dispatcher heartbeat period (default 5s)
      --external-ca value               Specifications of one or more certificate signing endpoints
      --force-new-cluster               Force create a new cluster from current state.
      --help                            Print usage
      --listen-addr value               Listen address (format: <ip|interface>[:port])
      --task-history-limit int          Task history retention limit (default 5)

Initialize a swarm. The docker engine targeted by this command becomes a manager in the newly created single-node swarm.

$ docker swarm init --advertise-addr 192.168.99.121
Swarm initialized: current node (bvz81updecsj6wjz393c09vti) is now a manager.

To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:

    docker swarm join \
    --token SWMTKN-1-3pu6hszjas19xyp7ghgosyx9k8atbfcr8p2is99znpy26u2lkl-1awxwuwd3z9j1z3puu7rcgdbx \
    172.17.0.2:2377

To add a manager to this swarm, run 'docker swarm join-token manager' and follow the instructions.

docker swarm init generates two random tokens, a worker token and a manager token. When you join a new node to the swarm, the node joins as a worker or manager node based upon the token you pass to swarm join.

After you create the swarm, you can display or rotate the token using swarm join-token.

--cert-expiry

This flag sets the validity period for node certificates.

--dispatcher-heartbeat

This flags sets the frequency with which nodes are told to use as a period to report their health.

--external-ca value

This flag sets up the swarm to use an external CA to issue node certificates. The value takes the form protocol=X,url=Y. The value for protocol specifies what protocol should be used to send signing requests to the external CA. Currently, the only supported value is cfssl. The URL specifies the endpoint where signing requests should be submitted.

--force-new-cluster

This flag forces an existing node that was part of a quorum that was lost to restart as a single node Manager without losing its data.

--listen-addr value

The node listens for inbound Swarm manager traffic on this address. The default is to listen on 0.0.0.0:2377. It is also possible to specify a network interface to listen on that interface's address; for example --listen-addr eth0:2377.

Specifying a port is optional. If the value is a bare IP address or interface name, the default port 2377 will be used.

--advertise-addr value

This flag specifies the address that will be advertised to other members of the swarm for API access and overlay networking. If unspecified, Docker will check if the system has a single IP address, and use that IP address with with the listening port (see --listen-addr). If the system has multiple IP addresses, --advertise-addr must be specified so that the correct address is chosen for inter-manager communication and overlay networking.

It is also possible to specify a network interface to advertise that interface's address; for example --advertise-addr eth0:2377.

Specifying a port is optional. If the value is a bare IP address or interface name, the default port 2377 will be used.

--task-history-limit

This flag sets up task history retention limit.
