Pre-parse platform string with StringSliceVar (#551)

* Pre-parse platform string with StringSliceVar

This allows users to declare --platform multiple times and have the
values appended, i.e.:
  ko build --platform=linux/amd64 --platform=linux/arm64
is equivalent to
  ko build --platform=linux/amd64,linux/arm64

As a side effect, platformMatcher.spec and gobuildOpener.platforms are
now of type []string (instead of string) to maintain structure of
information from flag parsing.

* Adjust comments and styling for clarity.

* The flag --platform is now of type strings.

Internally cobra/pflag defines StringSliceVar as "strings" whereas
StringVar is defined as "string".

This change is updated by running hack/update-codegen.sh script.

* Add backwards compatibility for WithPlatforms function signature

Update comments to reflect implementation as well.

* Fix syntax failure on unit test
