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.
