ensure proper search path for pkgconf by setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable before calls to craft will enable the build to find libraries provided by the host system Signed-off-by: Matthieu Gallien <matthieu.gallien@nextcloud.com>

Would it be possible to use the image from the Dockerfile.build.el8 as the base of this container? that way we wouldn't need to manually create/download+unpack an archive of the Craft installation, and we could also skip setting up the blueprint repositories here.

we currently manually build Qt6 modules while building the first image
this is taking a lot of storage space and build time
I think the current limit when building an image would be exceeded
that is the main reason to keep a manual build step on some developer machine before using the actions to publish the final image
