Add default build script, minor docker fixes

These commits should not necessarily be squashed when merging. Your call.

The PR title could be changed though.

The changes here I think are fairly self-explanatory, with some details in the first commit. It'll probably make more sense if you first look at the two commits separately, rather than from the "files changed" tab.

@KaruroChori This is ready for review.

Hey, thanks! It also cleaned up the yml file quite a bit.
I will add a note about that script in the dev docs as well, as it can simplify the initial (annoying) chain of commands.

One problem with that script is that it takes longer because it reconfigures each time. I opened a related issue for that: #59

There is a second problem I have been thinking. Meson subprojects should be probably updated at some point?

Hmmm... locally yes. That could be added to this build script for now, and see how we like it, change later if necessary. Could add a check so it doesn't bother to run if it's in the CI.

We could add a prompt to the script, so the user can just hit y or n to run it. Maybe a timeout.. I think that can be done with 'read'

ChatGPT says yes, and I think I've experimented with that before:

#!/bin/bash

read -t 4 -p "Do you want to proceed? (yes/no) " answer

# Check if input was received within 4 seconds
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Timed out. Defaulting to 'no'."
    answer="no"
fi

# Normalize input (convert to lowercase) and handle response
case "${answer,,}" in
    yes)
        echo "You chose yes."
        ;;
    no)
        echo "You chose no."
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Invalid input. Defaulting to 'no'."
        ;;
esac

I added this section to update subprojects as a separate commit. Let me know if you hate it and I'll revert it. ;) I liked this idea better than the prompt w/timeout.

Thank you!
