Subject: [PATCH] fix: set buildType to dockerfile after creating Dokploy app +
 add saveBuildType
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Dokploy defaults to 'nixpacks' build type which fails for repos with Dockerfile
- Now provisioning flow: create → saveGithubProvider → saveBuildType(dockerfile) → saveEnvironment → deploy → createDomain
- saveBuildType sets: buildType=dockerfile, dockerfile=Dockerfile, dockerContextPath=/
- This ensures the app builds correctly from the repo's Dockerfile
