Description

Add driver that can detect buildkitd in the $PATH and run it directly. For example, this driver can be used with #12 . Pidfile should be used for keeping track of the daemon and monitoring its state.

Research direction

The issue names buildkitd discovery through PATH, direct daemon execution, issue #12, and pidfile-based monitoring, but no files or tests. Start by reviewing the existing driver architecture and #12; done means a process driver can find and run buildkitd, track it with a pidfile, and monitor its state.
