Renode minimized container image

This Dockerfile uses a multistage build with runtime image based on mono:slim to minimize runtime container components and static image size. By default if no version is passed via --build-arg RENODE_VERSION=x.y.z it will build 1.15.0.

Note on Podman replacing Docker: https://podman.io/whatis.html

Static image size comparison:

Ubuntu base ~805 MB

Mono:slim ~311 MB
