Fix docs and help messages about OCI image uploads
Metadata
Current evaluation
Docs and help messages for OCI image uploads in Charmcraft 3 are slightly wrong per a discourse thread. Filed by maintainer lengau, no labels or assignee, only an auto Jira-sync comment. Docs still reference dockerd while code now uses skopeo.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: No labels, no assignee, and the only comment is the auto-generated Jira sync bot (CRAFT-3563). Although filed by maintainer lengau, no other maintainer has acknowledged or picked it up in 691 days. The docs in manage-resources.rst still say 'needs dockerd to be installed and running' while the code (commit fb8680ec) now uses skopeo, confirming the issue is valid but unaddressed.
