Add a dedicated how-to guide covering the two ways to resolve a container image at generation time: supplying a pre-built image with the --image flag, and building from local source with the --build flag for score-compose. Explains the 'image: .' placeholder, provides score-compose and score-k8s tabbed examples, and a guidance table for choosing between the approaches.

Per maintainer feedback on score-spec#110, move the building vs supplying container image guidance into a new dedicated section at the bottom of the existing Overrides page instead of a separate how-to guide. Covers the --image flag for score-compose and score-k8s, points to --override-property for per-workload images, and the score-compose --build flag with an example.

Following the discussion in #110, this adds a new "Build or supply a
container image" section at the bottom of the existing
Overrides page
(

--imageflag overrides theimagefield of any workload with no explicit image definition. Tabbedexamples for
score-composeandscore-k8s, with a pointer to--override-propertyfor handling different images across multipleworkloads.
score-composespecific--buildflag, with both supported formats (
--build=CONTAINER=./dirand the JSONform) and a runnable example.
