Today our CI builds all of the linux code we have with musl and libc to ensure everything is silky smooth. We should have a way to do the same locally. This adds a new macOS only goal that spins up a container (requires `container` to be installed) that builds an image with our deps (libarchive and compression libs) and then builds the project. It supports supplying whatever libc (musl or glibc) to verify they both work.
