Description

When using this action, when building an image with buildx, it introduces unexpected environment variables related with telemetry.

Expected behaviour

When building busybox image with RUN env, I expect the following during build:
(These are the environment variables I get locally and in github actions if I don't use this action and use the provided version on the runner)

#5 [2/2] RUN env
#5 0.126 SHLVL=1
#5 0.126 HOME=/root
#5 0.126 PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

Actual behaviour

When running busybox image with RUN env, I get a lot more environment variables than expected

#5 [2/2] RUN env
#5 0.043 OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_PROTOCOL=grpc
#5 0.043 SHLVL=1
#5 0.043 HOME=/root
#5 0.043 OTEL_TRACE_PARENT=00-c721631977cd93d91b16d2c2b54718b2-5684774e47a1b670-01
