ci: Don't use Travis caches for docker images
This commit moves away from caching on Travis to our own caching on S3 for
caching docker layers between builds. Unfortunately the Travis caches have over
time had a few critical pain points:
* Caches are only updated for successful builds, meaning that if a build times
out or fails in a different location the sucessfully-created docker images
isn't always cached. While this makes sense as a general rule of caches it
hurts our use cases.
* Caches are per-branch and builder which means that we don't have a separate
cache on each release channel. All our merges go through the `auto` branch
which means that they're all sharing the same cache, even those for merging to
master/beta. This means that PRs which switch between master/beta will keep
rebuilting and having cache misses.
* Caches have historically been invaliated somewhat regularly a little more
aggressively than we'd want (I think).
* We don't always need to update the contents of the cache if the Docker image
didn't change at all, and saving off the docker layers can sometimes be quite
expensive.
For all these reasons this commit drops the usage of Travis's built-in caching
support. Instead our own caching is used by storing blobs to S3. Normally this
would be a very risky endeavour but we're basically priming a cache for a cache
(docker) so if we get this wrong the failure mode is longer builds, not stale
caches. We'll notice that pretty quickly and hopefully fix it!
The logic here is inserted directly into the `src/ci/docker/run.sh` script to
download an image based on a shasum of the `Dockerfile` and other assorted files.
This blob, if found, is loaded into docker and we record what layers were
inserted. After docker finishes the build (hopefully quickly with lots of cache
hits) we then see the sha of the final image. If it's one of the layers we
loaded then there's no need to update the cache. Otherwise we upload our layers
to the global cache, possibly overwriting what we previously just downloaded.
This is hopefully a step towards mitigating #49278 although it doesn't
completely fix it as it means we'll still probably have to retry builds that
bust the cache.
