Set `Application.allow_spread_yaml` to false
Metadata
Current evaluation
Maintainer task to set Application.allow_spread_yaml to false after updating craft-application to 7.3+. Currently pinned to 7.2, not yet implemented.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a fresh (8 days old), triaged maintainer task with a clear action: update craft-application from ~=7.2 to >=7.3 and set allow_spread_yaml=False. The related debcraft#187 confirms this is a coordinated cleanup across craft projects after PR #1168 migrated test configs away from spread.yaml.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
Set `Application.allow_spread_yaml` to false, upon updating to craft-application 7.3 or higher.
### The problem it solves
https://github.com/canonical/craft-application/pull/1168 migrated test config files from `spread.yaml` to `imagecraft-test.yaml`.
It allows for parsing `spread.yaml` for backward compatibility, but we [don't need backward compatibility](https://github.com/canonical/craft-application/pull/1168#discussion_r3871528200) for imagecraft.

keep open | Maintainer task to set Application.allow_spread_yaml to false in imagecraft once craft-application >= 7.3 is adopted, dropping unneeded spread.yaml backward compatibility after the test-config migration to imagecraft-test.yaml. |
