      .Improve support for reproducible container builds

      Reproducible builds ensure that a given set of inputs consistently generates the same output. This enhancement addresses several factors that previously complicated reproducibility in container image builds. While using `-source-date-epoch` and `-rewrite-timestamp` will improve the reproducibility of builds, and better align with common practices like setting and looking for `$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, it cannot guarantee complete reproducibility.

      Container images created using RHEL's container tools are reproducible when using the same inputs. 

      Goals

      • Builds with the same input should not result in different tarball outputs
      • increase efficiencies between image updates. 

      Details of this work is documented in Nalin's "Reproducible Builds" document, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nL-A6YFEY7vhhCdqOpll3LdbpMgZ4BlNEM0qvBSTSFs/edit?tab=t.0
