Patches 64173 and 62153 (v5) have been sent to 62153.

If you don't mind, I have changed the option naming to '--max-layers=N'
instead of '--docker-layers=N' to align with the format of
'--entry-point-argument' (without specifying Docker as the only image
format that utilizes layers).

I did not include code to check if 'N' is zero and use the current
non-layered format. Instead, I opted for the default value of '#false'
as it was easier to implement.


Regards,
Oleg.
