feat(containers): comprehensive buildx optimization for production reliability

Added comprehensive buildx optimizations to ensure maximum reliability
and performance for Linux container builds:

🚀 Advanced Buildx Configuration:
- Use latest moby/buildkit image for best performance
- Configure garbage collection (9GB keep storage)
- Limit parallelism to 2 workers to prevent resource exhaustion
- Add Docker Hub mirror (mirror.gcr.io) for faster pulls
- Enhanced entitlements for complex builds

💾 Smart Caching Strategy:
- GitHub Actions cache integration with mode=max
- Conditional cache logic: respects no_cache input properly
- Cache disabled only when explicitly requested via workflow_dispatch

🧹 Resource Management:
- Pre-build disk cleanup removes unnecessary files (~14GB freed)
- Removes .NET, Android SDK, GHC, CodeQL tools
- Docker system prune for clean build environment
- Disk space monitoring before/after cleanup

🔧 Build Reliability:
- Network host mode for better connectivity
- Security entitlements for complex operations
- Optimized worker configuration for stability
- Registry mirrors for faster base image pulls

These optimizations should resolve buildx issues and provide:
- Faster builds through better caching and mirrors
- More reliable builds through resource management
- Better handling of complex multi-step builds like TeX Live
- Reduced build failures due to disk space or resource limits
