docs(docker): add an example of building distroless image (#1900)

Related to #151, this PR adds an
example about how building a distroless image for a Frankenphp project.

FYI, on https://github.com/dunglas/symfony-docker, it only saves ~24MB
in the image size.

I think we could go even further by building our own distroless image
with Bazel like they do
[here](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless) but for now,
the doc is a good start.

+## Hardening Images
+
+To further reduce the attack surface and size of your FrankenPHP Docker images, it's also possible to build them on top of a
+[Google distroless](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless) or
+[Docker hardened](https://www.docker.com/products/hardened-images) image.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> These minimal base images do not include a shell or package manager, which makes debugging more difficult.
+> They are therefore recommended only for production if security is a high priority.

+When adding additional PHP extensions, you will need an intermediate build stage:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM dunglas/frankenphp AS builder
+
+# Add additional PHP extensions here
+RUN install-php-extensions pdo_mysql pdo_pgsql #...
+
+# Copy shared libs of frankenphp and all installed extensions to temporary location
+# You can also do this step manually by analyzing ldd output of frankenphp binary and each extension .so file
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libtree && \
+    EXT_DIR="$(php -r 'echo ini_get("extension_dir");')" && \
+    FRANKENPHP_BIN="$(which frankenphp)"; \
+    LIBS_TMP_DIR="/tmp/libs"; \
+    mkdir -p "$LIBS_TMP_DIR"; \
+    for target in "$FRANKENPHP_BIN" $(find "$EXT_DIR" -maxdepth 2 -type f -name "*.so"); do \
+        libtree -pv "$target" | sed 's/.*── \(.*\) \[.*/\1/' | grep -v "^$target" | while IFS= read -r lib; do \
+            [ -z "$lib" ] && continue; \
+            base=$(basename "$lib"); \
+            destfile="$LIBS_TMP_DIR/$base"; \
+            if [ ! -f "$destfile" ]; then \
+                cp "$lib" "$destfile"; \
+            fi; \
+        done; \
