Add preloading and the CLI onto the worker so that we can avoid having to send an image to the worker over balena cloud proxy

@vipulgupta2048 check out Flowzone / e2e (generic-aarch64, qemu, 1941514) check run - false positive reported

marked as draft to prevent merge by accident. Unsure if this is the changes in this PR that caused the failure

when trying this out with the qemu worker - many changes must be made

in leviathan, the worker container must be made privileged - this also means removing some other parts of the docker compose
extra volumes must be made on the qemu worker docker compose in leviathan
entry.sh must be modified - as the container ill be in privileged mode, commands such as mknod will fail as modes will already exist on the host
I'm assuming that to use docker in docker we must be in privileged mode as all preload implementations we have within a container have privileged mode enabled

rcooke-warwick commented 1 year ago

this is again an argument for using @Bucknalla idea to just have the preload container be seperate - we won't have to modify any permissions with the qemu worker which could lead to unpredictable behaviour.

at least we figured out how to make the node version bump work @vipulgupta2048 so it was worth trying ;/
