Allow loading local images into Kind for easier development

[empovit]

There is a way to load local images into a Kind cluster without pushing them into a registry. This can offer a faster turnover for development, and eliminate the need in a remote registry for those who want to experiment. If we stay with Kind for development/demo, we might consider adding the local image option to the scripts.

We did this on the Kueue e2e tests if anyone is curious. I can't say I got it working with Podman instead of docker but it seems to work pretty well.

It works with Podman, needs a bit of a workaround though. See this PR.

@empovit do we know what is pending?

[empovit]

@asm582 if this has been implemented on Kind with Docker, the issue can be closed. As we discussed already, we can't use Podman because the NVIDIA container toolkit for Podman works with CDI, which isn't good for InstaSlice.

Ok, I see it implemented in emulator mode

instaslice-operator/hack/deploy-instaslice-emulated-on-kind.sh

Line 21 in 99405c9

_kind load docker-image ${IMG} --name ${KIND_NAME}

, but not in the demo https://github.com/openshift/instaslice-operator/blob/99405c97edb2362c07fe16a0bc4fbcc871258b51/deploy/setup.sh. I also think that setup.sh should move to were the rest of deployment files are.
