Containerize pumpos HDD image build process

[voidderef]

Summary

Move building of the pumpos HDD image to docker.

Detailed description

Not a lot to add here.

Benefits

Make building the HDD image independent of the host OS regarding debootstrap and other tools.

Drawbacks

At least right now, I can't come up with any.

Current blockers

In order to achieve this, it must be possible to write directly to the /dev/sdX device from within the container. I haven't done this before, but I know there is a parameter to pass devices to the container. That's something that needs to be checked first.

I just tried this by passing a usb then formatting with fdisk in a container.

Just add --device=/dev/sdX to the docker run command
