Alpine Linux 3.8 is still supported, but it seems like
it's quite outdated now.

While Python should be the same on both, all other libraries, etc.,
are much newer in Alpine 3.9 and 3.10.

Python 3.7 is apparently faster than 3.6, and should be mature enough.

Fixes #5467.

Also:

* Fix wrapping in docker readme
* Clean up some docs on the docker image
* a workaround for #4554

There are two reasons this is a good thing:

 * first, it means that you don't end up with stuff kicking around your working
   copy ending up in the build image by mistake (which can upset the pip
   install process)

 * second: it means that the docker image cache is more effective, and we can
   reuse docker images when iterating on the docker stuff.

Rewrite the dockerfile as a multistage build: this means we can get rid of a whole load of cruft which we don't need.

This addresses #3224

This matches docker best practices.
