Description
Per design/runtime.md §13.2: prefer BuildKit if available, fall back to classic. Today `runtime/docker/build.go` calls `ImageBuild` without setting `Version`, so we get whatever the daemon defaults to.
### Plan
- Probe `Info.BuilderVersion` (or check for `buildkit` capabilities) at `docker.New()`
- Cache result on `*Runtime`
- In `BuildImage`, set `opts.Version = build.BuilderBuildKit` when supported
- Fall back to classic with a warning if a buildkit-only construct (e.g. `# syntax=...`) appears in the user's Dockerfile but the daemon has no buildkit
### Why now
Our generated feature dockerfile starts with `# syntax=docker/dockerfile:1.4`. Classic ignores this as a comment so today's flow works, but cache mounts and other syntax-1.4 features won't apply unless buildkit is on.
