Description
Description
Currently, all files mount from build context by run command are owned by root (uid=0,gid=0).
It will be nice to be able to overwrite the ownership when you mount it.
This would eliminate the need for copy --chown statements.
If mount can't modify the ownership, can I set the default ownership for build context?

Research direction
Start by locating the BuildKit implementation and option parsing for run --mount=type=bind; the issue does not name files or tests. Check how build-context mounts currently set ownership, then define and verify the behavior for explicit uid/gid options and the proposed default ownership alternative.
