fix: reintroduce gaia docker builds (#3199)

* Set UID and GUID to 1025 in Dockerfile

This is for compatibility with interchaintest, since it will chown files
to that UID/GUID

* Reenable docker builds.

They execute on the main branch, releases, and on workflow dispatch.
Also get rid of the Dockerfile and use just the e2e one

* add changelog entry

* Only run docker build on GIT_DIFF

* Nightly docker builds, plus add a DOCKER_README

+# Gaia Docker image
+
+There's a `gaia` docker image built on a nightly basis, as well as for every
+release tag, and pushed to `ghcr.io/cosmos/gaia`. It's built from the
+[`Dockerfile`](./Dockerfile) in this directory.
+
+The images contain statically compiled `gaiad` binaries running on an `alpine`
+container. By default, `gaiad` runs as user `nonroot`, with UID/GUID `1025`.
+The image exposes ports `26656,26657,1317,9090`. This is how the `gaiad` is
+compiled:
+
+```Dockerfile
+RUN LEDGER_ENABLED=false LINK_STATICALLY=true BUILD_TAGS=muslc make build
+```
+
+Since the image has an entrypoint of `gaiad start`, you can use it to start a
+node by mounting in a `.gaia` config directory. So, for instance, you can start
+a `v17.3.0` node running a chain configured at `$HOME/.gaia` by running:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it -v "$HOME/.gaia:/opt/gaia" ghcr.io/cosmos/gaia:v17.3.0 --home /opt/gaia
+```
+
+Of course, you can also use the images to just run generic gaia commands:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it --entrypoint gaiad -v "$HOME/.gaia:/opt/gaia" ghcr.io/cosmos/gaia:v17.3.0 q tendermint-validator-set --home /opt/gaia
+```
+
+## Building
+
+The images are built by workflow
+[docker-push.yml](./.github/workflows/docker-push.yml). This workflow is
+invoked on release as well as every night, and may be invoked manually by
+people to build an arbitrary branch. It uses the `docker/metadata-action` to
+decide how to tag the image, according to the following rules:
+
+* If invoked via schedule, the image is tagged `nightly` and `main` (since it's a build of the `main` branch)
+* If invoked from a release, including an rc, it is tagged with the release tag
+* If invoked manually on a branch, it is tagged with the branch name
+
+**NOTE:** To avoid surprising users, there is no `latest` tag generated.
