`DaemonHost()` returns `http://docker.example.com` for ssh transport

[scratchmex]

Description

cli.DaemonHost() gives http://docker.example.com when docker host is set to ssh

the behavior comes from getConnectionHelper in

cli/cli/connhelper/connhelper.go

Line 64 in 8403869

Host: "http://docker.example.com",

the Host is set to http://docker.example.com in connection helper and later updated the host attribute in the cli.Client at

cli/cli/context/docker/load.go

Line 115 in 8403869

client.WithHost(helper.Host),

the daemon host is specially useful in docker compose when we want to know if the docker host it's remote or not, like you are doing here

cli/cli/context/docker/load.go

Line 127 in 8403869

func isSocket(addr string) bool {

Reproduce

DOCKER_HOST="ssh://user@1.2.3.4" docker 

Expected behavior

we should be able to know whenever the docker cli is accessing the docker host via ssh, unix, pipe, etc

basically we should be able to access docker host used
