Draft: PoC: Use Buildx Bake for build stage images

Hossein Pursultani requested to merge hp-bake-builder-images into hp-builder-images

What does this MR do?

This MR is based on !1422.

It is a PoC for using Buildx Bake as a build tool and HCL-formatted Bake files as the build script for the build stage images, aka builder images.

It removes a significant portion of .gitlab/ci/builder.gitlab-ci.yaml and use Bake to describe the build logic. It removes multiple build jobs, ie. core:* and go:*, and the DAG of build dependencies from builders:build stage and leverages targeted Bake contexts. It also replaces some parts of the shell scripts with HCL functions and language constructs to make.
