    Modify the name, tags and/or digest for images.

Images modify the name, tags and/or digest for images without creating patches.  E.g. Given this
kubernetes Deployment fragment:

```yaml
kind: Deployment
...
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: mypostgresdb
        image: postgres:8
      - name: nginxapp
        image: nginx:1.7.9
      - name: myapp
        image: my-demo-app:latest
      - name: alpine-app
        image: alpine:3.7
```

one can change the `image` in the following ways:
 
 - `postgres:8` to `my-registry/my-postgres:v1`,
 - nginx tag `1.7.9` to `1.8.0`,
 - image name `my-demo-app` to `my-app`,
 - alpine's tag `3.7` to a digest value

all with the following *kustomization*:

```yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization

images:
- name: postgres
  newName: my-registry/my-postgres
  newTag: v1
- name: nginx
  newTag: 1.8.0
- name: my-demo-app
  newName: my-app
- name: alpine
  digest: sha256:24a0c4b4a4c0eb97a1aabb8e29f18e917d05abfe1b7a7c07857230879ce7d3d3
```
