Add support for docker buildx bake files

[ccasn]

It would be nice if we could specify a buildx field in the devcontainer.json (similar to the current build field) to point to a docker-bake.hcl file. The Bake files is next generation of build definitions in docker, and is supperior to standard Dockerfiles: https://docs.docker.com/build/bake/reference/

I think the old build scheme with Dockerfiles are perfectly fine and covers 99% of all devcontainers. But when you start to have more complex setups and you want to reuse build configurations between multiple docker images it becomes much easier to maintain with Bake files.

So a suggestion would be that devcontainers (either building directly from a Dockerfile or using a docker-compose.yml) has 2 options:

• build: what we have today
• buildx: new feature that can point to a *.hcl file

If buildx is defined a docker buildx bake command in the background instead of normal docker build.

Devcontainers support is provided by an extension, so you should ask for this feature in extensions repo: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues
