`docker:stable` tag hasn't been updated in 5 years, and has been
deprecated, according to https://hub.docker.com/_/docker, while
`docker:dind` (image use for the service) is using a recent version of
docker.

Now, `docker info` fails with:
    Error response from daemon: client version 1.40 is too old. ...

Switch to a newer tag, and just the "cli" version which contains only
the docker client. With that, both `:dind` and `:cli` should keep
using the same version of version. (`:cli` seems to be the base image
used to build `:dind`.)
