ci: Add a Containerfile-based workflow

This is a small but notable step towards making the build
process more container native.  The rpm-ostree bits
are hidden much more.  At a high level, the build process
outputs a "nested container" - a container image with a
`/nested.ociarchive` at the top level.

Higher level build processes need not be aware of exactly
how that `.ociarchive` is constructed (as it will definitely
change in the future).

In an ideal world of course we wouldn't need this "wrapped image"
as it runs the ergonomics.  See discussion in e.g.
coreos/rpm-ostree#4688
for that.
