ROADMAP for image-tools #187

Description

@zhouhao3

Hi everyone,
In order to achieve the release as soon as possible, I made the following roadmap, any comments are welcome. cc @opencontainers/image-tools-maintainers @wking

Currently, image-tools has implemented the following functions:
1.Validate one or more image files
2.Unpack an image or image source layout
3.Create an OCI runtime bundle

image-tools has implemented the most important verification function, so I think image-tools can already prepare v1.0 release.

The following a roadmap draft, any comments are welcome.

v1.0: Solve image-tools problems.
There are two known problems with image-tools:
1.How to handle multiple manifests with the same ref.name:
We discussed this problem in #164 and proposed a solution waiting for review in #169.
2.Autodetect problem:
The main reason for this problem is that the main judgment in the Autodetect function is that the Mediatype field becomes a non-required field in spec. So that leads to validation errors.
We discussed this problem in #62 an proposed a solution waiting for review in #184 and #62 (Two different solutions).

v1.x: Add additional functionality.
Add create-layer sub command #8
Add create-image sub command
Add oci-cas sub command #40 (This still need to discuss, the current views are not uniform.)

These above features are additional features. We can wait until later.

Most of the plans have a corresponding patch, but we need to discuss and optimize.Please come up with anything to add.
