Image list output does not honor setting in ~/.docker/config.json file #6672

Description

@keratin-rack-0k

Description

Since 29.0.0 docker image list does not format its output based on the imagesFormat field in ~/docker/config.json.

Reproduce

docker image ls

Displayed columns:
IMAGE, ID, DISK, USAGE, CONTENT, SIZE, EXTRA

cat > ~/.docker/config.json << 'EOF'
{
    "imagesFormat": "table {{.ID}}"
}
EOF

docker image ls

No change, the displayed columns are the same.
IMAGE, ID, DISK, USAGE, CONTENT, SIZE, EXTRA

Expected behavior

If the imagesFormat option is specified in the config.json file, the output should be displayed according to the specified formatting settings.
