Description
Today I was looking at a user that had just pulled an image and then did this:
> docker images ls
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
>
Strictly speaking the output is correct because the user did not pull an image with the name ls which is what is filtered for. What the user meant to do was docker images or docker image ls.
To make this less confusing, I think we should display the filter when one is used. For example:
> docker images ls
FILTER: name=ls
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE

Research direction
Start by locating the Docker CLI implementation for docker images and docker image ls, then trace how the optional name filter is handled. Done means a filtered listing visibly reports the filter, while an unfiltered listing keeps its current output; add or update coverage for the shown command behavior.
