document --opt parameters for dockerfile frontend

As far as I can tell, the various --opt flags for buildctl are not documented. Or if they are documented, this is not obvious from the readme. It has a few examples (source, context, build-arg, target), but does not actually explain them. Some options like filename aren't mentioned at all, leading to persistent questions like #2310.

Please add documentation (or links to documentation) for these options.

Hi, @AkihiroSuda, can this issue be assigned to me? I'm learning the buildkit code and can help improve the documentation.

Hey, I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin, and I was wondering if I could work on this issue for my virtualization class! Thanks.
