Add support for dict-based profile list definitions to zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s

Follow-on from #6941

This PR jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s#3690 adds support for dict-based configuration of list items in zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s. It is not exhaustive, and in particular does not add this option to profile list definitions.

In a recent conversation about how to design hubs, @yuvipanda confirmed that we want to lift as much configuration into common configuration files (per cluster) as possible. By adding support for defining profile lists as dictionaries, it will be possible to define extensible profile lists in the common configuration.

Steps

• Modify the profile_list schema to accept a dictionary of dictionaries, or array of dictionaries.
• Add handling logic to jupyterhub_config.py (e.g. https://github.com/sunu/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s/blob/9fca3ce184d161483fa62c87d7a5c41f6dc15a5a/jupyterhub/files/hub/jupyterhub_config.py#L343-L348)
• Add test to ensure this new config works
• Update z2jh docs to reflect this new capability

Definition of Done

Indeed, this requires changes to kubespawner that I thought we already had done but we hadn't.

@agoose77 can you scope out what changes would actually be needed to be done upstream? Just kubespawner? Kubespawner and z2jh? Spend no more than 15min on sizing it too.

Thanks @yuvipanda. I've finally refined this into two cards. Better late than never!
