Add BUILDKIT_SYNTAX option handling

This fix allows building with a remote builder where
frontend.dockerfile.v0 enabled = false in the buildkitd yaml file.

Note that this change only allows the usage of BUILDKIT_SYNTAX with
a custom frontend image, and using the #syntax directive in this case
will still fail.

Resolves: #3077
