K8s profiles: Add `--image` arg to `charmcraft init`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Requested repeatable image arguments for Kubernetes profiles during charmcraft init; the option remains unimplemented and untriaged, with no maintainer response.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The request gives a concrete CLI example and intended benefit, but has no labels, comments, assignee, or maintainer assessment. Current InitCommand code defines no --image argument, while the Kubernetes template still hard-codes some-container and some-container-image; implementation also needs decisions about validation, duplicate names, defaults, and other Kubernetes-based profiles.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
It would be handy if `charmcraft init` could take image name(s) when rendering a project tree.
This could be done similarly to the `--resource` arg in juju:
```
charmcraft init \
--profile kubernetes \
--name charmed-app-k8s \
--image workload1=ghcr.io/x/y:z
--image workload2=ghcr.io/a/b:c
```
This would render metadata.yaml etc. with the provided image(s) instead of the placeholder "some-container-image".
### Why it needs to get done
When we charm up an app, we usually know which image we want to start with.
Having it rendered up front would save some time and confusion, especially for beginners.
