The docker-buildx package is being removed from gcloud CLI docker images

[anindyatahsin]

We are removing the docker-buildx dependency from all Google Cloud CLI Docker images to mitigate customers' exposure to vulnerabilities found in this component and its dependencies according to the following timeline. If your workflows rely on docker-buildx, you will need to pin to the respective Pin-To gcloud version or earlier. Alternatively, you could build your own docker image and include docker-buildx using a custom Dockerfile. Here are some examples: Dockerfile Examples.
