Description

When exporting a raster layer you get the option to save to GeoPackage. The dialog however only work for a single raster in a new GeoPackage, unless you add two custom "create options".
If you don't, you will replace any data in a previously created GeoPackage.

The "Create options" you need to add are:

APPEND_SUBDATASET  YES
RASTER_TABLE       LayerName

This will export/save the raster to a subdataset in the GeoPackage, without replacing any current layers/tables.

My feature request is that a "profile" for this is added to the dialog when GeoPackage is selected as export format (profile name: "Add raster as subdataset").

The profile should be added in the layer context menu "Export"/"Save as.." dialog, and in the "Raster" menu "Translate(Convert Format)" dialog (=same widget?).

I'm hoping this can be an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing in the code.
Could it possibly be as simple as adding a "sBuiltinProfiles" for GeoPackage to the src/gui/qgsrasterformatsaveoptionswidget.cpp file?
