get-container should take "-name" as a parameter about docker-powershell HOT 4 CLOSED

This one is a tricky issue... Docker's engine api doesn't give us a graceful way to request one ContainerListResponse object or multiple ContainerResponse objects due to the way their rest endpoints are designed. We'll need to dig further, but it's likely that whatever we do now will be a work-around until the engine api is improved.

I know its 100% less than ideal but we could theoretically just do client side processing for now. IE: get the full list but only write out the one that matches the -Id or -Name requested. We should open a tracking item in Docker to add the /containers/json to support /containers/json?id=<> in the filters list.

Also, I haven't had a chance to try but what if we used since=<id>&limit=1? Is it inclusive?

Oh man... I didn't realize that since and before took ID/name. I thought those were timestamps. I'll give that a try and it could solve our issue (if since/before are inclusive).
