web_only images do not install postgres or redis, minimizing image sizes for setups that do not require those components. release and dev images still install postgres and redis, but do it later in the process. remove rm runs rm no longer affects image sizes as we are no longer squashing images

We no longer use docker squash - that has been gone for a long time. Here, we now desire /tmp to stick around as a way of keeping /tmp/install-redis around for installing later within a build for discourse-dev.

I wonder if we could delete these after the RUN command that generates them to keep the image small.

The other option we have is to add a tmpfs have a for these during the build.
Note that I'm keeping /tmp around to ensure install-redis remains as needed - it's called in both this image as well as the dev image.

We'd need a way to add it to the dev image as well when we build that, as that also needs to be able to run install-redis in a different context.
My concern with copying is that any changes to install-redis could get out of sync in an update.
Probably a preferred solution or way forward that would allow is to give a shared context, IE reorganize things so all dockerfiles live under a common directory. base.dockerfile dev.dockerfile test.dockerfile etc. but I'd prefer that reorganization be left for a potential future refactor stage.
