Make docker container smaller #497

Description

The Pixie VM is small. It would be nice to if the docker image reflected this. Maybe we could use the Alpine base image which is smaller.

    What does the sid image weigh in at? I'm building on alpine right now and it's coming in at a pretty hefty >300MB... I think it's the boost-dev dependencies (pulling in all of the built boost libraries) which might be possible to reduce down.

    The current image is 1gb apparently: https://imagelayers.io/?images=pixielang%2Fpixie:latest The sid base image is 150mb or so. It looks like the apt-get installing of stuff seems to be the real bulk of it. 300mb is a big improvement. We can probably delete the externals dir after building too. That should wipe of 100mb or so.
