Mentioned by @ciaranmcnulty on the community slack.
Previously, there was no simple way to create an empty named context, requiring external steps such as creating an empty directory. This change allows a single one-line context to represent the empty state.
Example usage:
docker buildx build . --build-context alpine=docker-image://scratch
