Issue Description

Kustomize bake action should allow image replacement like the Helm bake action allows overrides.

I want to be able to use Kustomize’s image substitution to update image tags without having to use a deploy action. Notation can be just like the deploy action, aka:

containers: |
      nginx: 1.7.9
      my-repo/image: some-new-tag

@strikeout Had a discussion with the team on this. It seems better to use a common solution of image substitution for all the methods of bake action, instead of using tool specific ways. So, we’ll port the image substitution logic for this use case.

After discussing with @ds-ms and @azooinmyluggage, it looks like a better way of variable substitution for very specific use cases like these would be using a script in the pipeline, instead of adding the artifact substitution logic for every case. @strikeout You can use a script to replace image name in your pipeline.
