Description

Right now users have to give the full URL of images to the flintlock spec, which is annoying.

ghcr.io/weaveworks/flintlock-kernel:5.10.77

At the CAPMVM level users should be able to do something like this:

kernelVersion: 5.10.77
kubernetesVersion: 1.21.8

and we should build the rest of the url and supply flintlock with the correct things.

The previous API keys will still be available, for backwards compatibility and in case users want to bring their own images.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current flintlock spec usage in CAPMVM, identify where image URLs are built, and design a mapping from short version strings to full image URLs. Ensure backwards compatibility by keeping old API keys. Implement the mapping and update the relevant controller code.
