Alpine 3.15 (Python 3.7) is EOL and causes build failures due to PyYAML cython_sources incompatibility with old setuptools. - Upgrade base image from Alpine 3.15 to 3.18 - Bump PyYAML from 6.0.1 to 6.0.2

What does this PR do?
Fixes the documentation build pipeline that fails with
AttributeError: cython_sourcesduringpip install.cf. https://github.com/traefik/mesh/actions/runs/23431874908/job/68160009068
Root cause
The
docs.Dockerfileuses Alpine 3.15 which ships Python 3.7 (EOL) with pip 20.1.1 and old setuptools. PyYAML 6.0.1's Cython-based build is incompatible with this old toolchain.This also creates a circular dependency with the structor-based publish workflow:
v1.4,master, etc.) using each branch's owndocs.Dockerfilemasteris fixed, structor still fails when buildingv1.4(which has the old Dockerfile)v1.4can't be fixed because the master pipeline blocks mergesThis PR fixes the
masterside. A corresponding fix forv1.4is in #873.Changes
