Highlights:
* OCI support w/ Kaniko has been improved fixing a previous issue seen related to warming usage + OCI images
* Fixed issue in which kaniko would at times incorrectly resolve GIDs as UIDs resulting previously in issues where it could not find the UID in the group list because indeed it could be it is not a GID.

Features:
* fix: avoid returning the UID when resolving the GIDs. #2689
* fix: correct function name on comment #2707
* fix: ensure images layers correspond with the image media type #2719
