I wasn't sure whether this would be good as a PR but I've now used it for debugging two issues related to dockerfile so I figured it might be worth adding. |

This subrequest is similar to `buildctl debug dump-llb` but works on a running buildkit daemon with the dockerfile frontend. The `--call=convertllb` option can be used to dump the raw LLB along with the metadata and anything else in the definition to a JSON format. This is useful for debugging purposes.
