Adds FORK-REVIEW.md: a review of what our fork adds on top of moby/buildkit, aimed at cutting maintenance burden by carrying fewer lines and leaning on upstream features where possible.

Two commits:

1. d865055 — the original review, verbatim. It was written against the abandoned merge-in-buildkit-all-at-once branch (upstream fa19659f). Its bug catalog ended at B7, so references to B14/B18/B31 were dangling.
2. b7d09d6 — rewrite against earthbuild/main (5fe7531), the in-flight v0.14.1 merge (chore: update buildkit to v0.14.1 #41) and upstream v0.34.1, for the new strategy of merging one upstream minor release at a time.

What changed in the rewrite:

• Foreword and baseline. States the purpose and the merge strategy, plus fork delta numbers: about 6.4k hand-written lines; about 43k vendored lines, almost all docker/distribution for the embedded registry.
• Min upstream / act at on every suggestion. Each "use upstream X" item gives the first upstream release that has X, and whether to act now or at a given merge step.
• §5 per-release checklist (v0.14 → v0.34): what to drop, adapt or watch at each merge.
• Corrections:
  • D5 and D8 were upstream code, not fork code.
  • D9 and B3/B4 only existed on the all-at-once branch; B3/B4 are now watch items for the release that brings the triggering upstream change.
  • M1 is resolved (chore: replace earthbuild/fsutil with upstream fsutil #49); M2 only applies at v0.20.
  • The registry proxy timing fix is done (fix(registry): end a proxied response on half-close, not 50ms of silence #24).
  • The keyscan fix landed upstream in v0.32.0.
  • B1 comes from a 2021 fork merge, not the all-at-once merge.
• New items: D11–D21 (including socketforward → upstream sshforward, about 470 lines; consumer-side replacements for RLIMIT, the session timeout interceptor and dockerui; CI/Dockerfile convergence), M3–M5, B8–B10.
• Live bugs on main worth fixing now: B7 (prune deadlock, [H]), B6 (healthcheck kills the session on the first slow probe), B1 (needs a product decision).

Caveats:

• B8 and B9 are reconstructed from the code, since the original text for them was lost.
• The ~900–1,000-line §2b savings total is an estimate.
• Line refs are against earthbuild/main @5fe7531de, or chore: update buildkit to v0.14.1 #41 @2fc50e525 where marked.

Walkthrough

Replaces FORK-REVIEW.md with a review of the EarthBuild BuildKit fork against upstream. The document records baseline statistics, proposed changes, retained functionality, migration blockers, tracked issues, and actions mapped to upstream releases.

Changes: Fork review documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Baseline and proposed changes FORK-REVIEW.md	Records the baseline revisions and merge strategy, and lists changes to drop or replace with upstream implementations.

Align the module baseline with context.WithTimeoutCause.

context.WithTimeoutCause requires Go 1.21. The pinned baseline already uses this API, and its CI already runs Go 1.21. D14 does not require a new CI change, but go.mod must not continue to declare Go 1.20.

Suggested fix

-go 1.20
+go 1.21
