Use main docker build command by default rather than buildx

See original GitHub issue

Currently docker.build() is an alias to docker.buildx.build(), but it’s not clear to me why this is since docker build and docker buildx build aren’t entirely compatible and the latter still seems to be somewhat experimental?

I have hit two issues with docker.buildx.build(): using FROM sha256:{image.id} in a Dockerfile is not recognised (it is with docker build); and on another host my docker client does not have buildx installed (and I’m very reluctant for this to be a requirement).

Under the assumption that the main reason docker build is not implemented is because it’s additional effort on top of supporting docker buildx commands I’ve put together a basic implementation that is working for me - the PR is #346, feel free to take it over or let me know how I can get it ready for merge. Unfortunately this is a breaking change, since the docker.build() API is slightly different… This does seem a more correct mirror of the CLI, so I wonder if there’s a way to get it in with the appropriate changelog notices and version bump?
