This pull request primarily refactors several methods and functions to consistently use receiver variable names (c instead of ctx or context) across multiple files, which improves code readability and reduces confusion. Additionally, it introduces a standardized approach for handling dry-run mode in provider creation functions, ensuring that a project manifest is written appropriately when dry-run is enabled.

Key changes include:

Refactoring for Consistency and Readability:

• Updated method receiver names from ctx or context to c across pkg/up/context.go and pkg/up/deploy.go, affecting methods like identifier, IgnorePreflights, SetImportCluster, Backfill, Deploy, Destroy, and related helpers.

Dry-run Mode Enhancements:

• Added logic to provider constructors (mkAWS, mkAzure, mkBYOK, and GCP's WithConfig option) to create and write a minimal ProjectManifest when dry-run is enabled. This ensures consistent behavior for all providers in dry-run scenarios.

Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements:

• Corrected assignment in HandleInitWithProject so the project variable is set directly, avoiding shadowing and improving error handling.
• Improved parameter usage in handleUp and HandleInitWithProject to use local variables (cloud, dryRun) for clarity and correctness.

Test Plan

Locally w/ plural up --dry-run for all providers. The only prerequisite was configuring the Git repository.
