AnchoreCTL Release Notes - Version 6.1.0

Note: AnchoreCTL v6.1.x versions are compatible with Enterprise v6.1.x deployments.

Adds anchorectl generate analysis-bundle for filesystems, producing an offline analysis bundle from a local directory.
Adds a --previous-version flag to anchorectl app version update.
The deprecated anchorectl source commands are now clearly marked as deprecated in their help output.

Fixes an issue where anchorectl image add --from docker still failed when Docker Desktop’s containerd image store was enabled.
Fixes several minor issues with the anchorectl app version command.
Fixes an issue where generated CLI commands displayed a success checkmark (✔) even when the command failed.
Fixes an issue where anchorectl image add --from surfaced empty SBOM locations as null instead of an empty list.
Fixes an issue where waiting on a job did not fail fast on a terminal FAILED or CANCELLED status, instead continuing to poll for roughly 30 minutes.
Fixes an issue where anchorectl stig execute silently fell back to a registry source, leaving the local daemon unpopulated and causing container creation to fail with “No such image”.
Fixes an issue where anchorectl image add --from docker used roughly three times the necessary peak memory during SBOM import due to multiple in-memory copies of the SBOM.
