🙏 give a way to squash layers about dive HOT 1 CLOSED

I've considered this before (https://github.com/wagoodman/dive/projects/1#card-10593749) but haven't convinced myself to add image modification features. Currently this is a "read only" tool for exploring your image, modifying it would be outside of scope.

Though, docker does support (experimentally) squashing an image: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/image_build/#options (note the --squash option). You can compare the differences by comparing the output of dive build -t your-image-tag . and dive build -t your-image-tag --squash . to see the result.
