CI: build the container image when a Dockerfile changes

The prek job never builds an image, so a bump of the Dockerfile's base
image reached main unvalidated and only failed afterwards in Publish -
by which point ghcr.io/etkecc/baibot:latest had already been attempted.

Add a gate job that looks for Dockerfile changes against main, and a
build job that builds the image the way Publish does but with
`push: false`. The build is gated rather than unconditional because it
is a full Rust release build: running it on every push would turn a
~1 minute pipeline into a ~10 minute one for changes that cannot affect
the image. It is skipped on main, where Publish already builds.
