Containerised build environment

Create a Dockerfile to enable a portable build environment. The Dockerfile is based on Ubuntu 24.04, and uses multiple stages to produce a minimal final product, with the final image size sitting at about 75mb.
This branch also incorporates the updates prepared by @cole-h to update to squashfs-tools 4.4 in devttys0#56.
Finally, building on newer GCC highlights a dangling pointer error in LzmaEnc.c. I have separated the fix for this problem into a dedicated patch file for ease of review.
