Remove a DTR replica from a cluster

## Usage

```bash
docker run -it --rm docker/dtr \
    remove [command options]
```

## Description


This command gracefully scales down your DTR cluster by removing exactly
one replica. All other replicas must be healthy and will remain healthy after
this operation.
