Image cleanup

[edan-bainglass]

This PR attempts to add some cleanup prior to image build and reduce cache explosion to reduce image size, which is currently failing all tests due to size limit exceeding.

@danielhollas I'm trying a few things, but I'm confident I don't understand this side of things well enough 😅 Nevertheless, the problem remains. All recent PRs fail due to size limits. Thoughts?

I haven't run into this problem before. Just one quick thought, it's perhaps worth trying to bump docker/build-push-action@v5 to docker/build-push-action@v6.
Otherwise the most straightforward way is to simply disable caching (to at least see if that fixes things?).

I also think somebody should invest time in addressing the root problem and slim down the image. Last time I looked there was possibly a lot of low-hanging fruit, I started looking into it in #1337, please have a look at that PR (I've revived it today and made a bit of progress but will not have time to pursue it tomorrow).

@superstar54 effort is already underway in #1337 by @danielhollas. This PR is another attempt at resolving the issue of dealing with a massive image. Let's discuss at the coding week.
