I'm not the best person to review this, as I don't e.g. exactly know which packages would be needed in this container for it to do what it needs to do. But since this adds new containers, it can't break existing ones - and since I don't see anything strange purely from the syntax, I'm happy to merge it.

This adds new container images that are based on the ones that we used for the software layer, and install some additional tools on top (e.g. Ansible). This allows us to also use
eessi_container.sh, and make it easier to update compat layers by using fuse mounts and overlays.For now I've left the old dockerfiles and the old CI workflow in place until we've tested this a bit more.
