Bump buildkit version to 0.12.4

[eoshea-cmt]

Description

0.12.4 has a bugfix for buildkit that would be great to get into compose:
moby/buildkit#4346

[thaJeztah]

Compose is already using master / v0.13, so should already have that fix (from the master branch) but due to go's pseudo-version generating, it shows as v0.12.xxx;

compose/go.mod

See #11289 (comment)

I see - is there anything to be done about releasing a new version of docker compose with the latest buildkit?

also - any idea what to do about this issue where the docker-ce is not getting updated when compose is released?:
docker/docker-ce-packaging#967

I'm not a maintainer for docker compose, and don't know if a new release is scheduled (@milas or @glours may know)

docker compose is incompatible with go1.20 (see docker/docker-ce-packaging#965), which is the version used to build packages of docker engine 24.x, unfortunately that means that no new packages can be published until either docker v25 is released, or docker v24 switches to go1.21 or above (there's a lot of risk involved in updating go version of the docker engine, which is why it tends to be a version behind).

docker 25 will be released soon though; beta packages are already available in the test channel, which also has package of docker compose v2.23.3 (see https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/jammy/pool/test/amd64/)

Alternatively, static binaries can be downloaded from the github repository https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

We don't have a specific date for a Compose release, but it'll likely be Soon ™️ - there's a variety of fixes queued up on main, but we've had limited availability these past few weeks.

If you want a bleeding edge build, beyond building from source, you can also look at the docker/compose-bin image. The :edge tag is published on each commit to main. A tool like https://github.com/crazy-max/undock can be used to get the binary out of the OCI image.
