Docker/oci and thus gitlab-runner, default to a root
user inside the namespace, even if its an unprivileged
one.
This can cause issues and let permission bugs sneak in,
as we are functionally root when running the build.
Switch the build jobs to run with our new "containeruser"
so we avoid much of it.
Our user is still in the wheel/sudo group but that's fine
as long we don't elevate the privileges unintentionally.
Noticeably for the time being, we will need to chown the
CI_PROJECT_DIR checkout as the gitlab runner might try
to reuse pre-existing and cached volumes of the project
checkout.
Additionally we need to change the ccache path, so we
will avoid the existing cache owned by "root".

Create a file we can check at runtime, and identify if the
environment we run against is one of our CI build images.
Useful mostly for our internal scritps so we can match against
metadata rather than heuristics, ex. if /subprojects exists
Conceptually similar to /.flatpak-info

This is mostly done to remove the hardcoded HOME
env var that ci-templates appends to the image. See [1]

But it also allows us to add extra things useful for local
development to it, as long they don't interfere with the
build enviornment.
This also means we can switch the build image to be based
on top of the normal fedora one rather than toolbox,
so it will no longer advertise the toolbox compatible labels
since it was buggy anyway.

The gstreamer-rs repos use debian based images already,
which we can later base on this one. Additionally it's
good to have another distro target so we avoid weird
fedoraisms when possible.
It will also be simpler to keep it up to date, as we
don't need to run the test suite against this build as
well.

Same change was already made in the 1.20 branch:

- Update the docker image we use, starting using the standard one adding
`gtk4-doc` as required by rust plugins
- Update the plugins_doc_caches as required, some more plugins are built
with the new image
- Install ninja from pip as the version from F31 is too old
- Avoid buildings all GSreamer plugins when building the doc as it takes
time and resources for no good reason
- Stop linking to `GInstanceInitFunc` as it is not present in latest GLib
documentation, leading to warnings in hotdoc.

Main differences with previous setup are:
- No manifest creation
- gst-indent is executed only when the bot is assigned (instead of the manifest task)
- Cerbero jobs are triggered in the cerbero repo
- Remove cerbero and android related files as they now are in cerbero
itself.
- Update `container.ps1` to the new file layout
