Rename moby to docker

Considering the recent news of spinning off Docker Enterprise and the refocusing of the company on developers I personally feel as though Docker needs to move back to its original home of github.com/docker/docker. Rationale: Moby was a confusing rename that largely did not contribute any value to the ecosystem and I'd argue actually hurt docker adoption since it moved this project to something that was supposed to be a neutral home but perhaps on reflection was not as effective as assumed. My opinion is merely that if this is the core of the docker project it should be called docker and be in the most obvious place that developers would look to find docker, that being https://github.com/docker/docker. There may be some logistical issues that get in the way of this, but github largely helps with redirects and what not. I feel if Docker is supposed to succeed in this next stage of its life, this makes the most sense. @j0hnst0n I'm not sure if you look at GitHub but considering you're now the CEO of a company that needs to right itself and rebuild from the ground up I'd say this now needs to be your second home and you should hear these words. To anyone who works at the new and former docker and agrees, please find a way to move this up the chain. To those that oppose, please voice your opinion, I'd like to know why anyone would object to this change.
