FYI: Concourse install size went from <900MB to >1GB starting in 8.2.0

I noticed this when making the 8.2.2 release. I was previously really happy that we got the install size down to <900MB previously, so was sad to see it had jumped back up to 1.43GB for linux/amd64 (similar for arm64).

I investigated what changed and traced the change to docker-image resource -> uutils package from Wolfi. That package went from 29MB to 1446MB. TLDR: they install the same 13MB binary multiple times instead of just once and symlinking, which is what they previously did. Full details here: wolfi-dev/os#78710
