Description

Please add the option to format Docker images in docker images output based on image platform. I'm on Arm64 (Apple Silicon), and want to distinguish non-/native images in the output.

This is currently not implemented based on the docker images command documentation.

Research direction

Start with the docker images command and the format options described in the linked Docker documentation. Trace how image metadata is made available to formatted output, then verify that docker images --format '{{.Platform}}' reports platform information for native and non-native images. Done means the option is supported and documented.
