Update elfutils version and use ubuntu apt packages in dockerfile

[mbmtbtbc]

Issue number of the reported bug or feature request: fixes #314

Describe your changes
Replace the custom elfutils build stage in the Dockerfile with Ubuntu's packaged libdw-dev and libelf-dev dependencies.

Removed the elfutils_builder stage from the Dockerfile
Removed the download and compilation of elfutils 0.193
Added libdw-dev and libelf-dev to the Ubuntu package list
Removed the copy step that imported the custom-built libraries
Updated documentation referencing the source build of elfutils

Testing performed
Successfully built the Docker image
Verified pkg-config detects both libdw and libelf
Successfully built and installed pystack inside the container using the distro-provided libraries

Additional context
Ubuntu 26.04 currently provides elfutils/libdw version 0.194 rather than 0.195

[mbmtbtbc]

I worked on the Dockerfile changes and replaced the custom elfutils build with Ubuntu's libdw-dev and libelf-dev packages.

One thing I noticed while validating the change is that Ubuntu 26.04 currently provides elfutils/libdw version 0.194 rather than 0.195:

pkg-config --modversion libdw
0.194

pkg-config --modversion libelf
0.194

The Docker image builds successfully and pystack also builds and installs successfully against the distro-provided libraries.

Is 0.194 acceptable for the Docker image, or would you prefer a different approach to obtain 0.195?

Is 0.194 acceptable for the Docker image, or would you prefer a different approach to obtain 0.195?

It's fine for us to use 0.194 in the Docker image. Since the Docker image is used only for testing, the only reason we'd need to use a newer version there is if we want to use a feature that's only available in a later version, or if we're affected by a bug in 0.194 that's fixed in a later version. If either of those ever happens, we can reintroduce the build from source at that point.

This PR will need to be rebased, though - there's a minor merge conflict between it and #313. Also, it's missing the Signed-off-by line in the commit message body - see CONTRIBUTING.md

More worryingly, it looks like the build of elfutils 0.195 is failing in the manylinux container that cibuildwheel is using...

[mbmtbtbc]

Understood! Here's what I'll do:

1. Rebase onto main to resolve the Dockerfile conflict
2. Amend the commit to add the Signed-off-by line
3. Dig into the manylinux build log to figure out why 0.195 is failing there

Will push an update once I've sorted it out.

Sorry for taking so long to get around to investigating this.

3. Dig into the manylinux build log to figure out why 0.195 is failing there

The issue turned out to be that the manylinux2014 container has a version of make that isn't new enough (make 3.x instead of 4.x). Installing a newer make fixes the issue.

Other than that, your changes all look good to me. I've rebased this, split it into two commits, and updated the commit messages.

Thanks for the contribution, @mbmtbtbc!
