Description

https://github.com/lima-vm/lima/blob/69751d55f37977edbecc6222b746e1b7b73b08cf/cmd/lima#L14

While the `lima` wrapper allows overriding `default` via an environment variable `$LIMA_INSTANCE`, the `limactl` CLI doesn't recognize this variable.

We may change the behavior of `limactl` to respect the env var, however, this kind of breaking change should probably happen when bumping up the major version (i.e., Lima v3.0)
