Subject: [PATCH] feat(ci): attest build provenance

Add GitHub native build-provenance attestation to the GHCR publish
workflow. The image is built and pushed with nerdctl, which has no
--digestfile; the real sha256 digest is read back from the registry with
skopeo after push and bound to the attestation via
actions/attest-build-provenance.
