Fix broken Dockerfile and minor improvements (#439)

* Fix broken Dockerfile and minor improvements

This fixes an issue introduced by a past PR (#432). It uses an argument that doesn't exist ("STACKABLE_USER_NAME").

In the course of diagnosing that I stumbled across a few inconsistencies with our "docker-images" Dockerfiles which I am addressing here as well.

- Updates the Helm version used (not caught by Renovate yet)
- Sets a build timeout for the build & package phase to two hours (down from the default of 6)
- Adds the dnf.conf file
- Adds convenience utilities
- Adds a few common aliases and a better prompt

* Add a small README
