allow adding customized label
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add user-defined custom OCI labels to rockcraft-built images; untriaged for 810 days with no maintainer engagement, and the project schema still lacks a labels field.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue has no labels, no comments, no assignee, and no maintainer response in 810 days. Code inspection confirms generate_metadata() in project.py only emits standard OCI annotations (version, title, created, description, licenses, base.digest) with no user-facing labels field, so the feature remains unimplemented and the request is still valid.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
We should be able to add a customized label to rockcraft built images.
The label I need to add is a short json string "com.azure.sonic.manifest" as in the following example, which is used to maintain docker startup dependencies, and will be eventually be used by systemd.
(Same thing docker works by using LABEL instruction in Dockerfile or adding the --label flag to a docker build command.)
```
$ sudo skopeo inspect docker-archive:docker-teamd.gz
{

```
We do have some metadata such as version/title/licenses which are converted to label during rockcraft build phase.

### Why it needs to get done
labels are important metadata carried by image, and are widely used.
