Description
File: engine/reference/commandline/manifest_annotate.md
There should be a list of valid OSes, architectures, and variants on this page. It is not intuitive to someone new to manifests which values to use for which parameters. For example, if I have an armv7/armhf image, what would I put for the variant - armv7 or v7 or arm32v7...?
This code is a good starting point, but doesn't list valid variants: https://github.com/docker/cli/blob/1f6a1a438c4ae426e446f17848114e58072af2bb/cli/command/manifest/util.go#L22

Research direction
Start with docs/engine/reference/commandline/manifest_annotate.md and review the referenced docker/cli manifest utility at cli/command/manifest/util.go. Determine the valid OS, architecture, and variant values and document them with guidance for armv7/armhf images. Done means a newcomer can choose the correct values for each manifest annotate parameter.
