master: The container name "/minikube" is already in use by container

[tstromberg]

To replicate:

• Run minikube start while Docker is coming up. It errors out with Unable to start VM. Please investigate and run 'minikube delete' if possible: creating host: create: creating: create kic node: creating volume for minikube container: output Error response from daemon: dial unix docker.raw.sock: connect: connection refused

• Run minikube startt once Docker is up:

💣  Unable to start VM. Please investigate and run 'minikube delete' if possible: creating host: create: creating: create kic node: create a kic node: args: [run -d -t --privileged --security-opt seccomp=unconfined --tmpfs /tmp --tmpfs /run -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules:ro --hostname minikube --name minikube --label created_by.minikube.sigs.k8s.io=true --label name.minikube.sigs.k8s.io=minikube --label role.minikube.sigs.k8s.io= --label mode.minikube.sigs.k8s.io=minikube --volume minikube:/var --cpus=2 --memory=6000mb --expose 8443 --publish=127.0.0.1::8443 --publish=127.0.0.1::22 --publish=127.0.0.1::2376 gcr.io/k8s-minikube/kicbase:v0.0.7@sha256:a6f288de0e5863cdeab711fa6bafa38ee7d8d285ca14216ecf84fcfb07c7d176]  output: [docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict.

You have to remove (or rename) that container to be able to reuse that name. See 'docker run --help'.] : exit status 125

If you run minikube start again, it gets stuck here instead:

I was able to reproduce this bug this way:
it should be do-able to write an integration test for it.

😿  minikube is exiting due to an error. If the above message is not useful, open an issue:

I will make a PR for this hopefully to be in this release
