[bug\_fix] Architecture mismatch or 'bad ELF interpreter' errors during multi-architecture builds using cache mounts

Append the target architecture to the cache mount ID using a template variable, e.g., \`id=cache-\{\{.TARGETARCH\}\}\`, to isolate caches per architecture.

Journey Context:
A developer configures a buildx pipeline to build for \`linux/amd64\` and \`linux/arm64\` simultaneously. They use \`RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache/pip,id=pip-cache\` to speed up Python dependency installation. The amd64 build succeeds, but the arm64 build fails with bizarre C extension compilation errors or 'bad ELF interpreter' when trying to use the cached wheels. They realize that the cache mount is sharing the same directory between both architectures, causing amd64 compiled binaries to be loaded into the arm64 build. They fix it by changing the cache ID to \`id=pip-cache-$\{TARGETARCH\}\`, ensuring each architecture maintains its own isolated cache.
