Description

### Feature or enhancement request details

Add support for resizing existing container volumes to accommodate changing storage requirements without manual data migration. This would allow users to expand a volume’s capacity in place instead of creating a new one and copying data manually, which is inefficient for large datasets or active development environments. Resizing in place would significantly improve usability for persistent workloads and local development.

Example usage:
`container volume resize myvolume 2TB`

Some things to consider:
* Resizing should preserve existing data and metadata.
* We may want to expose a progress indicator and validate sufficient host disk capacity before starting the resize
