Cant set Container MAC addresses

[kladkogex]

docker network connect needs to accept --mac-address as parameter.

This causes lots of issues for us.

Although it's is possible to set a single mac-address for a container if there is only one network defined, it's not possible to set a mac address for each interface if several networks are defined.

This is also not possible with Docker CLI (--mac-address is an option for docker run, but not for docker connect), but it seems it supported in Docker Engine, at least from API v1.25 (https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.25/#operation/NetworkConnect)

I will open issues also to docker CLI and docker-py. Should I open one new issue here or is ok to keep it in this same issue?
