compose: docker-compose '-H'/'--host' missing in docker compose

Description

We use docker-compose with the -H/–host as part of our standard build pipeline, with the latest update of docker on Mac, it forced the use of the new CLI tool and broke all of our deploys.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Run any command with -H/–host to use a remote socket
Watch it break

Describe the results you received: Gives an unknown flag error

Describe the results you expected: It to use the remote socket

-H option has to be set on the top-level docker command, not after compose subcommand (same as any other docker command by the way): docker -H ssh://$user@$host pull compose -f compose/alpha.yml

We have the same issue on Linux. docker -H "ssh://user@address" compose fails with the message unknown docker command: "compose compose" after displaying the command usage documentation.
