What this PR does / Why we need it:

Several improvements to workflows that flow through the build-image to improve build and iteration times.

This includes:

Removal of debug images

We don't need this anymore, so no reason to build it for each architecture.

Use build-image target directory

I realised that when mixing the build-image workflow with local rust tools, that going between them, they would invalidate each other's incremental cache, since it was fingerprinted on absolute directories - drastically expanding build times between iterations.

Moving to a specific target directory for build-image usage drastically improves both the incremental build times of images, and every other workflow through build-image, such as e2e testing. (make test-agones can be used iteratively now).

More aggressive docker ignore

We only use a few files for the Docker image, so let's ignore everything else. Took the docker context down from 1GB+ to < 50MB.

On a linux machine all this brings incremental builds down from 10's of minutes to a minute or less, since only what has changed is compiled and pushed as we can now take advantage of rust incremental build and docker image caching.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Work on #553

Special notes for your reviewer:

I know what the impact is on a Linux environment, would be good to know how it improves things on a Mac and Windows environment where there is an extra layer of virtualisation.

CI failure should be fixed by #560

Ah! This is actually a real issue:

Step #4 - "test-docs": book/filters/load_balancer.html
Step #4 - "test-docs":   target does not exist --- book/filters/load_balancer.html --> ../../api/quilkin/filters/load_balancer/struct.Config.html

I'll go fix.
