This PR improves the docker image by using a multistage Dockerfile. This allows to keep build-time dependencies in a dedicated container.
The previous implementation just deleted the build tools, but due to docker's layering schema they were still hidden in lower layers, leading to a unnecessary big image (729MB).
The actual image of the final build stage is based on a plain alpine:3.7 and is only 36MB.
