We're getting security advisories against the node version we're using.
This PR bumps everything to 18.18.2/18.x again. And we'll trust our
excellent monitoring on detecting performance regressions again
We are pinning node to version 18.17.1 as we have seen some performance
degregation on node 18.18.0 on arm64. We will investigate this further
at a later point. This is to mitigate the issue.
Our next step in pinpointing the issue will be to compare between
running on musl vs libc on arm64.
### What
To reduce the work needed, this PR adds paths-ignore to avoid building
unnecessary workflows.

## About the changes
Reduce the build time of OSS docker image from
[~30m](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/actions/workflows/docker_publish.yaml)
to [under
15m](https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/actions/runs/5222180536/jobs/9427342758)
1. Build frontend outside docker multiplatform.
2. Allow `frontend/build` to be copied to the image by removing this
from `.dockerignore`
3. Run with `--ignore-scripts` to avoid building the frontend on the
`prepare` script, but this requires us to run all the prepare scripts
manually (except the frontend build).
**Note:** we need to build frontend in the `prepare` script to be able
to have source code dependencies
## Manual Testing
Manually downloaded from
https://hub.docker.com/r/unleashorg/unleash-server/tags?page=1 and
compared both `unleash` folders from main and the version built with the
new process
https://github.com/Unleash/unleash/actions/runs/5223078089/jobs/9429430190#step:5:48
No major difference was spotted (only expected changes due to
development done in main)
**Command used to extract the contents:**
```
cd /tmp
mkdir main && cd main
docker pull unleashorg/unleash-server:main-edge-18-alpine
docker export $(docker create unleashorg/unleash-server:main-edge-18-alpine) > container.tar && tar xvf container.tar
mkdir ../new-process && cd ../new-process
docker pull unleashorg/unleash-server:sha-ccac902-18-alpine
docker export $(docker create unleashorg/unleash-server:sha-ccac902-18-alpine) > container.tar && tar xvf container.tar
meld ./unleash ../main/unleash
```
