[Feature] Kaniko builder is archived, please switch to use alternative builder

[yansun1996]

The Kaniko project has been marked as archived.

For the future support please consider switch to alternative builder pods.

For example, top alternatives to Kaniko for building OCI-compliant container images without requiring root access in Kubernetes include BuildKit (by Docker), Buildah (by Red Hat), and Werf. These tools offer better caching, performance, and active maintenance compared to the now-archived Kaniko, supporting secure, daemonless builds in CI/CD pipelines.

Thank you for this issue @yansun1996.

We are well aware of the deprecation of Kaniko and we were about to switch to Shipright, and then to buildah when we found some issues we worked hard to solve in the past.

We will investigate further options.
