dbuild's README contained some vague and very partial hints on how to use
ccache with dbuild. Replace them with more concrete instructions.

The current procedure for building images is complicated, as it
requires access to x86_64, aarch64, and s390x machines. Add an alternative
procedure that is fully automated, as it relies on emulation on a single
machine.
It is slow, but requires less attention.
Closes#8024
The instructions are updated for multiarch images (images that
can be used on x86 and ARM machines).
Additionally,
- docker is replaced with podman, since that is now used by
developers. Docker is still supported for developers, but
the image creation instructions are only tested with podman.
- added instructions about updating submodules
- `--format docker` is removed. It is not necessary with
more recent versions of docker.
Closes#7521
podman is compatible with docker, but by default emits a manifest
format that is not understood by old docker clients, so give it
an extra flag to generate the old format instead.

Specify --pull in order to refresh the base image (some Fedora release).
Usually this is not important, because we run `dnf update`. But if the
cached image happens to be a pre-release version of Fedora, the image
will have the update-testing repository enabled, and we may get some
unwanted updates.
It's sad that we need two separate flags for correctness (the other
is --no-cache.

`dbuild` was recently (24c732057) updated to run in interactive mode
when given no arguments; we can now update the README to mention that.

If docker sees the Dockerfile hasn't changed it may reuse an old image, not
caring that context files and dependent images have in fact changed. This can
happen for us if install-dependencies.sh or the base Fedora image changed.
To make sure we always get a correct image, add --no-cache to the build command.

It is useful to adjust the command line when running the docker image,
for example to attach a data volume or a ccache directory. Add e mechanism
to do that.

Add a reference to a docker image that contains an "official" toolchain
for building Scylla. In addition, add a script that allows easy usage of
the image, and some documentation.
