Provide instructions on authentication using Skopeo when publishing rock
Metadata
Current evaluation
Doc enhancement request to add a skopeo --dest-creds authentication section to the publish-a-rock how-to. 329 days old, 0 comments, no maintainer interaction; author promised a PR that never landed. The doc gap still exists.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The doc gap is real and still present (current docs/how-to/crafting/publish-a-rock.rst has no auth section and no 'dest-creds' appears anywhere in the repo), but there is zero maintainer engagement: 0 comments, no assignee, and the author's promised PR never arrived in ~11 months. A maintainer needs to decide whether to pick it up or ask the author to follow through; it is not stale-irrelevant since the request is still applicable.

### Request type
Enhancement
### What needs to get done
Hey team!
It would be nice if the doc on how publishing a rock
https://github.com/canonical/rockcraft/blob/3b149eeaa49395d3e81e9477e8106e912a28dfba/docs/how-to/rocks/publish-a-rock.rst?plain=1#L15-L20
also had a small section explaining how to authenticate using `--dest-creds`. IMHO, this may be valuable to some people going through the doc.
I'll contribute a small addition for this as soon as I can.
