action: add mTLS security to multi-arch buildkitd

[adityamaru]

Summary

Adds mTLS authentication to the multi-arch follower buildkitd connection, preventing unauthorized access to the exposed buildkitd TCP port.

Before (PR #88): Follower buildkitd listens on a publicly-reachable tcp://vm-xxx.vm.blacksmith.sh:port with no authentication — anyone who guesses the hostname+port can submit builds.

After: The leader generates an ephemeral CA + server/client certificate pair (EC P-256, 1-day validity). Server certs are SCP'd to the follower; buildkitd starts with --tlscacert/--tlscert/--tlskey. The leader connects via --driver-opt cacert=…,cert=…,key=…. Only the leader possesses the client cert signed by the ephemeral CA.

Flow:

1. generateMTLSCerts() — creates CA, server cert, client cert in /tmp
2. pushServerCertsToFollower() — SCPs CA + server cert/key to follower
3. startFollowerBuildkitd() — starts buildkitd with TLS flags
4. buildx create --append --driver-opt cacert=…,cert=…,key=… — leader connects with client cert

All certs are ephemeral and die with the VMs.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• buildctl readiness check reuses server cert as client cert (multiarch.ts:388-392): The health check on the follower runs buildctl --tlscert server.crt --tlskey server.key. This works because buildkitd just validates the cert is CA-signed, but verify this is the intended behavior vs. using a dedicated client cert on the follower side.
• Bash process substitution for SAN extension (multiarch.ts:188): Uses <(printf "subjectAltName=…") with { shell: "/bin/bash" }. Confirm all target runner images have /bin/bash available (should be fine for Ubuntu-based Blacksmith VMs).
• --driver-opt format: Verify that passing each driver opt as a separate --driver-opt key=value flag (not comma-separated) is the correct format for the remote driver. Docker docs suggest this is correct.
• End-to-end test: Trigger a multi-arch build (linux/amd64,linux/arm64) on a Blacksmith runner with both PRs deployed. Verify buildkitd logs show TLS handshake and that an unauthenticated buildctl connection to the exposed port is rejected.

Notes

• Comment in generateMTLSCerts says "valid for 1 hour" but the openssl command uses -days 1 (24 hours). Functionally fine since builds are much shorter, but the comment is inaccurate.
• Cert cleanup is implicit — /tmp dies with the VM. No explicit cleanup added.
• This PR is stacked on top of action: implement multi-arch buildkitd with insecure mode #88 (insecure buildkitd). Base branch is devin/1775273254-multiarch-insecure-buildkitd.
