Fix docker connection plugin version tests and py2.6 compat (#16841)

* Rm py2.7+ code in docker connection plugin

The docker connection plugin was using subprocess.check_output
which only exists in python 2.7 and later. Connection plugins
need to support python2.6 so this replaces it with Popen/communicate()

* Handle docker ver errors in docker connection

Add unit tests for DockerConnection

Fixes #16971
