Trims down the Dockerfile by using the python:{version}-slim base image.

Initially, ubuntu:jammy was used to get a general image and Python was built from source on it. This made builds rather long. Using the specific python image has the right Python version baked in, thus quicker builds, and slim keeps the image size as low as it can.

Alpine variants were also considered, but ultimately yielded larger images.
