Enable resource limits in non-swarm environments

[esantoro]

I am deploying some non-critical serviecs using docker-compose, on a single host.
Despite docker does support setting resource upper bounds (cpu/memory limits) they are ignored in pratice.

I am aware that this is a documented behavior (https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/#deploy is always open when I'm dealing with docker-compose).

However, I can't understand why it has been chosen not to enable these feature when running against a single docker daemon (instead of a swarm).

With this feature request I would like to ask for such options (the whole deployment.resources.limits subtree) to be enabled for non-swarm deployments too.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just pass the appropriate options to the underlying docker daemon.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatives are the following:

1. running the containers in a vm -> nullifies the point of running containers
2. launch my containers using shell scripts that call the docker binary with appropriate options (I would really like not to).
