Regularly update container images #12641

Feature description

Currently, GDAL container images are only updated if there are changes to GDAL itself or its build process. Therefore, it sometimes takes a while before a new image version is released. In the meantime, many vulnerabilities are discovered especially those concerning operating systems which will exist within the container base image used by GDAL.

To mitigate vulnerabilities in a timely manner it would be beneficial to rebuild GDAL container images e.g. whenever base image vulnerabilities become known or on a fixed schedule (e.g. weekly). This process can (and probably should) be automated by using GitHub actions, for example.
