test(build): add comprehensive tests for export functionality

Add unit tests covering all aspects of Docker export functionality
including configuration, build behavior, and override logic.

Tests added:
- TestDockerPkgConfig_ExportToCache: validates field behavior
- TestBuildDocker_ExportToCache: integration test with mock Docker
- TestDockerPackage_BuildContextOverride: tests precedence logic
  - No override scenarios (respects package config)
  - CLI flag enables export (overrides package false)
  - CLI flag disables export (overrides package true) - CRITICAL
  - All 6 combinations of override behavior

The critical test validates bidirectional override capability,
ensuring CLI flags can both enable AND disable export mode.
