Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
I would like to be able to define something like `create_manifest: true` in the imagecraft.yaml and have a manifest generated as a build artifact
### The problem it solves
Existing livecd-rootfs builds have support for manifest generation (see [here](https://git.launchpad.net/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/functions#n49)). This is a requirement for cpc builds, and being able to do it without the use of overlay scripts would be much clearer.
