Subject: [PATCH] [enh] container: use Wolfi OS as base image

Wolfi OS images are specifically designed for container use. Using a specially designed base image for containers not only reduces maintenance burdens, but improves overall experience for developers (fewer packages we have to track) and end users (smaller images).

Discussion here: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4753
