I like the idea of cleaning up /var/lib/docker contents, but I'm still
pretty on the fence for whether it's a safe thing for us to do in
general.  This directory might contain important user data that they
aren't necessarily even aware was there, and if we blow it away, we've
just deleted that (orphaned or even unorphaned volumes, container
writable layers, etc).

What does postgres do in this case?  I think they've got similar
issues and I'm curious whether they just blow it away regardless.

We might also run into issues if the user has mounted a different
partition on /var/lib/docker to force the daemon to use a particular
storage driver or for performance reasons.
