expose bundled `umoci` as `rockcraft.umoci`
Metadata
Current evaluation
Enhancement to expose bundled umoci as rockcraft.umoci snap app; contributor ready to implement but waiting for maintainer decision on pre-1.0 API stability concern.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue has active maintainer discussion (lengau raised a valid pre-1.0 API stability concern on 2026-08-18) and a contributor (@gcomneno) is waiting for direction from @tigarmo before implementing. Recent activity (5 days ago) and clear scope make it worth keeping open pending a maintainer decision.

Issue body
### Check existing issues
- [x] I've verified that this request isn't described by any existing issues.
### Request
the snap already builds and ships umoci but does not expose it as an app. can we? i think its as easy as:
```diff
+ umoci:
+ command: bin/umoci
```
since it s just a static go binary.
### The problem it solves
i often find that it would be convenient to have access to it e.g. in ci pipeline where i've already installed rockcraft and don't want wait for any more installs. we also already have a precedent for this with `rockcraft.skopeo` (and it's great that we do!)
run across this most recently, for example, in https://github.com/rockcrafters/bonsai-rock
