reproducibility probably needs a hardcoded userid
Also, move the UID arg later in the dockerfiles, for better caching.
(if local dev build and repro build set different UIDs, the build caches
will diverge at that step)

debian 10 only distributes libxcb-util0.
debian 11 distributes libxcb-util1.
our base image atm is debian 10, so we build the package from source.
This includes two logically separate changes:
- on the host, try not to require sudo when running the build scripts
- namely when interacting with the docker daemon, this requires
the unix user on the host to be part of the `docker` group
- this solves part of https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7602
- while running inside the docker containers, do not run as root
- this means that e.g. files created in mounted folders should
no longer be owned by root on the host
- there is some code duplication involved here - not sure
how it could be deduped.

We recently bumped the bundled version of PyQt (5.14.2->5.15.4).
It seems the new version has a lot more dynamic dependencies.
From https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/linux-requirements.html :
> From Qt 5.15 onwards, Qt does require libxcb 1.11. Also, the -qt-xcb
> configure option got removed that was bundling some of the libs below.
We are using the prebuilt wheels for PyQt5 from PyPI. Presumably those
had previously been built using the -qt-xcb option.
Ubuntu 20.04 needs `libxcb-xinerama.so.0`
and Debian 10 needs `libxcb-util.so.1` for the Qt `xcb` plugin.

Yes, it did work in 4.2.3 which used PyQt5 5.13.2. I just had a look at the xcb plugin and it definitely has less dependencies:

Had to also bump ubuntu version 18.04->20.04,
as was getting errors running the self-compiled pyinstaller otherwise (weird...):
```
from .utils.git import get_repo_revision
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyInstaller.utils'
```
(similar to https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4403 )

Note re appimage: when trying to compile python 3.8.x on ubuntu 16.04, I am getting:
./Modules/posixmodule.c: In function ‘os_copy_file_range_impl’:
./Modules/posixmodule.c:10351:15: error: implicit declaration of function ‘copy_file_range’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
ret = copy_file_range(src, p_offset_src, dst, p_offset_dst, count, flags);
This is because ubuntu 16.04 has too old glibc.
This slightly increases the AppImage size but allows us to be more
compatible with older distributions.
