autopkgtest-build-lxd: check for existing image early

Bug Description

autopkgtest-build-lxd fails if an image already exists with an error like

    Error: Aliases already exists: autopkgtest/ubuntu/noble/amd64

*after* creating the new image which takes a considerable amount of time.

This is wasting user time. It would be preferable to have an early check and recommend to the user to use 'lxc image delete' if he wishes to recreate the image.

We might additionally consider adding a --force parameter allowing to overwrite images.
