BuildKit can be run in several different ways and the setup script should accommodate for these different ways. First, on a Linux system, the unix socket path /run/buildkit/buildkitd.sock should be detected. If it is detected and is read-writable by the user, it should be added to the user's config under buildkit_host. The user should be prompted before this occurs with something similar to:
Detected BuildKit socket at '/run/buildkit/buildkitd.sock'
Would you like to let KraftKit use this for building Dockerfiles? [Yn]
If BuildKit cannot be detected at the unix socket path location, or the system is macOS/Darwin, or other, then detect if a container runtime exists from a choice of container/nerdctl, docker and podman. These three container runtimes are supported by KraftKit. If any these are detected, a question as to whether instantiating buildkit as a privileged container should be prompted with affirmation the following should be invoked:
docker run -d --name buildkitd --privileged moby/buildkit:latest
The name buildkitd can be used as the buildkit_host, e.g.:

Feature request summary
During the installation process of kraftkit, that is, via the recommended installer method, the script should aid the user with setting up BuildKit. This will become increasingly necessary for users who wish to use the pre-built base runtime.
