this PR makes many changes to the dockerfile in hopes of making it
faster to build, download, and upload.
1. Instead of copying the entire repository at once, it first copies the
go.mod and go.sum files, then runs go mod download. This allows the
dependencies to exist in their own layer, avoiding the need for the
build cache there.
2. the compilation of the db-tools is moved to a second image. Since
these are not often changed, not needing to rebuild them every time
makes things a lot faster for local development. It also reduces the
amount that is needed to be uploaded when creating new release - since
the db-tools layer will be unchanged
3. each binary is copied individually into its own layer. This allows
docker to upload/download each binary in parallel, along with better
recovery if the download of the existing 500mb layer fails (since it is
done in parts)
it also adds a second dockerfile which builds erigon with a debian
image, as a start to addressing #6255
while this dockerfile has a greater total image size, the total size of
different layers across versions will be smaller, resulting in smaller
effective upload & download sizes
with all that said - I am not really sure how the existing erigon
ci/release process works, so maybe these changes are incompatible with
it.
# comparison
## docker build speed
in both examples, i build erigon, then change a file in
core/blockchain.go (resulting in recompilation)
these are the produced logs

Since the downloading of dependencies is in the cache - rebuild time
does not suffer, but notice that it does not go into its own layer.
More importantly, since the db-tools are being rebuilt every time, an
extra 10-20s is added to the docker build time.

since dependencies and db-tools versions didnt change - all those layers
are cached, and did not need to rebuild/redownload
an additional advantage - build tools that are able to share cached
layers (such as kaniko or gitlab runner) are able to share dependency
layers automatically between runs, either sequential or concurrent,
while using mounts are an extra piece that needs to be configured, and
is not possible to share for concurrent builds
## docker push/pull speed
see this example of the image pushing to a docker repo

the existing image can only be uploaded in a single layer, and it is
very big. if the upload fails part way through - the entire upload is
aborted, and i must try again. It is the same with the download

since the image is broken up into many small parts - the upload can
happen in parallel, which is faster. Along with this, we can resume
after a failure in upload, since we are uploading smaller chunks
