Exclude Python virtualenvs from the Docker build context (#7658)

# Description of Changes

Stirling engine docker slimming

Exclude Python virtualenvs from the Docker build context
Drop unused provider SDKs from the engine dependency set
Retry the SQLite WAL switch when workers race on startup
Build the engine image in two stages and run it unprivileged
Swap voyage SDK for api call removing 200MB bloat
Bundle the AI engine in the fat image
Publish the AI engine as a standalone image


886MB to 295MB in docker file

And Docker fat is only 230MB bigger after adding (since it already has
python and some deps)
