cri: add pause image name to annotations

We are currently in the process of developing a feature to facilitate guest image pulling
on confidential-containers, and we would be grateful for containerd's support in this endeavor.
It would greatly assist our efforts if containerd could provide the pause image name and
add it into the annotations.

Fixes: #9418
