Is your enhancement related to a problem? Please describe

The current Kubernetes empty page is discussed in https://github.com/containers/podman-desktop/issues/8571. And could redirect to the kubernetes context when nothing is configured.

Today, on the Kubernetes Contexts page, user cannot simply add a new context.

As a developer, I was importing a lot of KubeConfig file to OpenLens through the raw import

In the clusters list page, we have a few actions possible

Adding raw kubeconfig

This option was the one I was using the most, because I was configuring a lot of clusters from our dev environment that I copy paste in my clipboard.

Adding kubeconfig file

Another possibility that was often used was importing a kubeconfig file from the filesystem

Adding a kubeconfig file to the environment would be an alternative, to copying/pasting the information within it.

Similar to adding directories to your PATH, instead of copying (or symlinking) all the binaries to the first entry?
