Upgrade docker/metadata-action to v5.9.0, enable PR builds, and add ARM64 support

[Copilot]

The Docker workflow fails with Error: Invalid value for enable attribute: {{is_default_branch}} because the workflow uses docker/metadata-action v3.3.0, which doesn't support the {{is_default_branch}} global expression (added in v3.7.0).

Changes

• Upgraded docker/metadata-action from v3.3.0 (commit 98669ae) to v5.9.0 (commit 318604b)
• Restored {{is_default_branch}} syntax which is now supported in v5.9.0
• Enabled pull request builds to test Docker builds on PRs (workflow does not push images for PRs)
• Added multi-platform support for both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures

# Before
uses: docker/metadata-action@98669ae865ea3cffbcbaa878cf57c20bbf1c6c38
...
type=raw,value=latest,enable=${{ github.ref == format('refs/heads/{0}', 'main') }}

# After  
uses: docker/metadata-action@318604b99e75e41977312d83839a89be02ca4893 # v5.9.0
...
type=raw,value=latest,enable={{is_default_branch}}
...
platforms: linux/amd64,linux/arm64

Workflow Behavior

• On push to main or tags: Builds for both AMD64 and ARM64 platforms, pushes images to registry, and signs them
• On pull requests: Builds for both platforms to verify Docker build works, but does NOT push or sign
• Latest tag: Only applied when building from the main branch

Research

No breaking changes between v3.3.0 and v5.9.0 affect this workflow's configuration. The upgrade is backward compatible for our use case.
