Description
Because it's not always obvious what state an existing stack is in when a docker stack deploy command is issued, it would be useful to be able to see a plan of action before it's executed to prevent surprises.
I'm proposing --dry-run as the option name.

Research direction
The issue names the Docker CLI entry point docker stack deploy and proposes a --dry-run option; start by locating that command's implementation. Done means the command can show a plan of action without executing the deployment changes.
