Add support for a TOML configuration file to the scripts/container
tool. This improves user experience by not having to keep passing the
same command line options all the time or overly relying on built-in
default values. Include the concept of 'profiles' with different
named sections in the file to cover various use cases.
Command line options take precedence over the config file, and values
defined in profile sections take precedence over the default one.
Add a -c option to override the location of the .container.toml config
file which should otherwise be located in the current working
directory. If not found, the file is silently ignored as it is not
strictly required unless the -c option is used.
Add a -p option to choose a particular profile section in the config
file rather than the default.

Thanks for the reviews so far.
Do you guys need anything else regarding this series?
There's no rush of course and we're all busy, just making sure I
didn't miss anything.
No, my apologies for not responding to this sooner. I plan to take a
look soon, I just keep getting preeempted by other stuff.
Sure, no worries. On a related topic, I also just started a new
thread about hosting container images[1]. And I'll be at Plumbers
next week so we may also catch up there and discuss next steps etc.
Best wishes,
Guillaume
