Closes https://github.com/chainguard-dev/internal/issues/5744
Type of change
Adds a new docs page with information from our solutions architects about adding APKs to distroless images using chroot (after a brief outline of why this is a better method than a couple of others that could work). The goal is to help specific customers by sending them a link to official documentation instead of Google Docs.
What are the acceptance criteria?
Does it render properly? Here's the preview for the page.
Do we like how the info is presented?
One outstanding question: Are the appendices necessary and wanted? They were requested and can save time for those in a hurry, but it isn't a form we have done that I have seen.
How should this PR be tested?
The code has been tested (see comments in https://github.com/chainguard-dev/internal/issues/5744), so we are only concerned with whether my translation of the information from a Google Doc into Markdown with some rewriting was successful.
Also, please look for language and style inconsistencies, as usual.
