fix: extract digest from OCI layout for SLSA provenance

When exportToCache is enabled, Docker images are exported as OCI layout
and not loaded into the Docker daemon. This causes 'docker inspect' to
fail when generating SLSA provenance subjects.

Problem:
- OCI layout export creates image.tar without loading to Docker daemon
- createDockerSubjectsFunction calls 'docker inspect <version>'
- Fails with 'No such object: <image-id>'
- Blocks SLSA provenance generation

Root Cause:
- Integration test for OCI layout doesn't enable SLSA
- Subjects function never called during testing
- Bug went undetected

Solution:
- Split into two separate functions for clarity:
  * createDockerInspectSubjectsFunction() - for legacy push workflow
  * createOCILayoutSubjectsFunction() - for OCI layout export
- Add extractDigestFromOCILayout() to read digest from OCI index.json
- Extract image.tar and parse index.json for manifest digest
- Use digest for SLSA provenance subjects

Changes:
- Separate functions for Docker inspect vs OCI layout paths
- Extract image.tar to temporary directory
- Read index.json from OCI layout
- Parse manifest digest from index
- Use digest for SLSA provenance subjects

Testing:
- Unit tests for extractDigestFromOCILayout() (6 test cases)
- Integration test for OCI layout + SLSA (TestDockerPackage_OCILayout_SLSA_Integration)
- All tests pass
- Maintains backward compatibility

Fixes: gitpod-io/gitpod-next#11869
