update Docker container offerings

[tomkralidis]

Currently, pygeoapi produces Docker images via GitHub Actions to the following container registries:

• Docker Hub (on release, and latest based on master branch)
• GitHub Container Registry (latest based on master branch)

Currently, the latest image is ~1.5GB containing numerous optional dependencies. It would be valuable to offer various images based on different deployment profiles/environments.

• determine images to produce (e.g. slim, default, full)
• add/update Dockerfile setups accordingly
• update GitHub Action for container publication
• update documentation

I have been experimenting with a slim version of our Docker image. I agree it would be good to have different images for different use cases.

I have started using Pygeoapi recently and I am interested in trying to reduce the image size and resource requirements for cheaper cloud deployments and improved security.

I was thinking about trying to build the pygeoapi image with the Ubuntu/python base. https://hub.docker.com/r/ubuntu/python

@kalxas can I ask what base images you have tried? And how successful you have been?

I'd be interested in what you've found too @kalxas.
