Allow ignoring errors when exporting remote cache

[tonistiigi]

previous issue docker/buildx#786
related docker/build-push-action#515

Cache export should take an option for controlling what to do when cache exporting fails. There are cases where there are temporary issues with the cache backend and the user would like it to not fail the build.

For reference, I am posting what I posted on the previous issue here.

I know this issue is closed, but I would like to bring up that GitHub Support is claiming these are timeouts on their API. Their recommendation is to patch this code to retry on 503s, with the backoff strategy.

While that kind of patch would probably resolve this for more cases than not, it still leaves a possibility that the builds will fail. I am trying to push back and have them provide more information on why these requests are timing out as, to me, that is a GitHub Infrastructure issue, not OSS issue.

GitHub support has requested that anyone experiencing this issue, please open a support ticket and reference ticket #1469808. They are wanting to build a case around this for prioritization for some infrastructure changes involving the caching layer.

Hitting an issue about half of the time when using the local cache. Would be super useful to gracefully ignore a failure when writing to the cache.
