Subject: [PATCH] fix: add --load to buildx to ensure images are available
 locally

When building v4 services with buildx, the resulting image may not
be found by Docker Compose because buildx only stores images in its
cache by default. Adding --load exports the build result into the
local Docker daemon.

Backport of lando/core#424
