Remove xz'ing prebuilt containers

Arran Walker requested to merge ajwalker/remove-xz-prebuilt into master

What does this MR do?

Removes xz'ing prebuilt containers. Updates docs removing references to go-bindata.

On disk, the total size was ~42MB. It is now ~169MB. However, due to the artifacts we upload being compressed, the final artifact is only 30M larger.

Why was this MR needed?

The prebuilt containers used to be added to the runner binary, so benefitted from being as small as possible. This is no longer the case, and compressing takes time.

The pipeline step 'helper images' is reduced by ~3m.

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

  • Documentation created/updated
  • Added tests for this feature/bug
  • In case of conflicts with master - branch was rebased

What are the relevant issue numbers?

#25651 (closed)
