docs: dedicated doc for uploading of OCI images
Metadata
Current evaluation
Triaged OCI upload documentation remains incomplete: guidance omits transport/archive forms and multi-architecture handling, while CLI help conflicts with the docs about sha256 prefixes.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Maintainer @lengau acknowledged the request, proposed a first how-to for uploading a rock, and identified multi-architecture uploads as the difficult part. The current guide only mentions sha256 digests or local image IDs, while the implementation and spread tests also support transport strings and OCI/Docker archives; moreover, the latest comment identifies a concrete contradiction in --image help text.
