Description

Currently an option readonly/ro is possible to specify that a bind mount should be read only.

Similarly, another option, readwrite/rw should be included to indicate the opposite.

This allows flexibility in the future to switch the implicit default which is currently readwrite to readonly.

Research direction

Locate the Docker CLI bind-mount option parser and the existing readonly/ro handling. Check how bind-mount options are validated and where related behavior is tested, then verify support for readwrite/rw alongside readonly/ro. Done means both spellings are accepted while the current default behavior remains unchanged.
