Reduce size of GDK base image

What does this merge request do and why?

This reduces the size of the GDK base image (aka. mise-bootstrapped-verify), which in turn reduces the size of the GDK verify image, ultimately making image pulls faster and it more convenient to work with the verify image.

The build-verify-image job also takes about 100s less to push but this might just be due to intermittent network load. Its actual size on disk will be reduced though.
