Does anyone have any objections to removing the "SDK" command from the wsk
cli?

I came across this "feature" again recently due to a user running into
issues trying to use docker support in the platform. I've recently been
updating the docs on the docker actions and think we should remove this
command as it doesn't represent best practice for the platform anymore.

The SDK was an old solution to utilising custom runtime images in the
beginning of the project, before the docker support improved a lot. The
"SDKs" are a series of old tar files download from the external source
repository. Looking at the Docker SDK, it does not represent a sensible
approach to using binaries on the platform now we have the dockerskeleton
image. I didn't investigate the Swift SDK and wouldn't be sure if this even
works anymore....

I've never come across an external developer using these SDKs "in the wild"
and can't see a valid use-case for continuing to provide them given all the
changes in the platform since they were introduced.

Does anyone have any comments? If not, I'll open a PR in the CLI to start
removing them.
