`docker scout attestation add` SIGSEVs without tag

[Falco20019]

Describe the bug

Running docker scout attestation add panics with a nil pointer dereference but no proper output if an empty tag is given.

To Reproduce

docker scout attestation add --file sboms/sbom.oci.cdx.json --predicate-type https://cyclonedx.org/bom/v1.6 <my-image>:

Be aware that there is nothing after the colon. It was a variable interpolation issue, but the message was not helping.

Expected behavior

A proper error message is given.

Actual behavior

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x18 pc=0x10d985d]
