First change `.dockerignore` to be an allowlist. This avoids spurious rebuilds when touching e.g. `tmt/`, and also crucially we don't leak `.git/` into the sources which can easily change as one makes commits/branches. This also requires touching the `hack/` directory which is now fully self contained. While we're here, make clear the roles of Justfile vs Makefile. Remove the `make test`.

Code Review
This pull request introduces several cleanups to the build system. The .dockerignore file is changed to an allowlist, which is a good practice to prevent accidentally including unwanted files. The roles of Justfile and Makefile are clarified with comments, and an unused make test target is removed. The hack/Containerfile is refactored to be more self-contained and to improve build caching by using multiple stages. My review includes a suggestion to improve the Docker layer caching strategy in hack/Containerfile to make it more effective.
