Cirrus: Print images that should be pruned
Over time unless they're removed, the project could grow quite a large collection of VM images. While generally cheap (less than a penny each, per month), these will become a significant cost item if not kept in-check. Add a specialized container for handling image-pruning, but limit it to only finding and printing (not actually deleting) images. Also update the image-building workflow so that base-images used to compose cache-images are also labeled with metadata. N/B: As an additional safeguard, the service account which executes the new container in production *DOES NOT* have access to delete images. This can be enabled by adding the GCE IAM role: CustomComputeImagePrune Signed-off-by: Chris Evich <cevich@redhat.com>
