Description

I suggest adding "-s" as the shorthand form for "--security-opt" so as to encourage people to use more hardened security-opts like -s no-new-privileges -s apparmor=some-strongly-confined-profile

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the Docker CLI definition and parsing path for --security-opt. Check how shorthand options are declared and find the related CLI tests, then verify that -s accepts the same values and existing --security-opt behavior remains unchanged.
