Description

We run our kubernetes clusters with containerd as the CRI. I'd like to be able to use containerd as a driver for buildlkit. Otherwise we will have to deploy DIND. Not the end of the world, but the added layer of complexity can be removed if builldx supported containerd, or even CRI as a driver.
