Rename "auto" subcommands to "image" This means all the sub-subcommands can drop the `image-` prefix, making them shorter and more fluent. E.g., flux create image policy rather than flux create auto image-policy Signed-off-by: Michael Bridgen <michael@weave.works> 4 years ago			`## flux export image update`
Add delete, export, get image-update This uses the established abstractions to implement the usual subcommands for the ImageUpdateAutomation type. I've called the sub-subcommand in each case `image-update`, as a fairly safe shorthand for the much longer `image-update-automation`. Signed-off-by: Michael Bridgen <michael@weave.works> 4 years ago
