[GTK][WPE][Tools] Make wkdev-build container ephemeral
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314841
Reviewed by Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez.
The persistent container required manual `podman rm` whenever its
create arguments changed, paid the first-run recursive chown cost,
and needed a `podman start` step after host reboots.
Switch to `podman run --rm --init` per host wrapper invocation. Run
as $UID:$GID with `--userns keep-id`; /run/user/<uid> comes from a
`--mount type=tmpfs,chown=true` whose ownership is set at mount time,
which removes the privileged init phase and the recursive chown. An
inline entrypoint refreshes the Wayland / PipeWire socket symlinks
and flatpak helper dirs in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, then execs the user
command.
Add podman/catatonit/crun as required packages to the dependencies
files.
Also fix coredumps:
Mount /var/lib/systemd/coredump and /var/log/journal (read-only) into the
wkdev-build container so that coredumpctl works inside it. Crashes inside
the container are handled by the host's core_pattern / systemd-coredump,
which writes to /var/lib/systemd/coredump; without these mounts the files
and their journal metadata are invisible to coredumpctl running in the
container.
