Subject: [PATCH] ci: use Warp cache for Docker layers

Speeds of 1MB/s and 15 minute cached docker image pulls during builds
are not uncommon.

Warp runners provide a local GitHub Actions cache protocol proxy for
Docker layer cache traffic. Point BuildKit's gha cache backend at that
proxy on Warp runners so cached image layers do not have to be fetched
from GitHub's slower cache service.

Add a default for provider so other users (e.g. qa-assets) don't have to
update this unless they use custome runners.
