Add support for BuildKit source policies via `nerdctl build --source-policy-file`. This enables reproducible and policy-driven builds (pin base images to digests, deny/allow sources, enforce HTTP checksums) without modifying Dockerfiles. The implementation: - Adds --source-policy-file flag that passes through to buildctl - Supports EXPERIMENTAL_BUILDKIT_SOURCE_POLICY env var for Docker Buildx compatibility - Flag takes precedence over env var when both are set This is a minimal passthrough to BuildKit - nerdctl does not validate the policy file; BuildKit handles all validation and error messages.
