Description
As we are using swarm on remote servers, using docker CLI we take advantage of docker context.
My expectation was, that the docker library will behave similarly to CLI thus created client would respect currently configured docker context. This does not seem to be the case.
Anyway, it would be great to have some simple method, which would create client based on current docker context, e.g.:
import docker
client = docker.from_context()

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating how the library currently creates clients and compare that with Docker CLI's configured current-context behavior; done means a client can be created from that context, including a remote Swarm context.
