Image disk space reduction (#10172)
# Why I did it

Reduce the disk space taken up during bootup and runtime.

# How I did it

1. Remove python package cache from the base image and from the containers.
2. During bootup, if logs are to be stored in memory, then don't create the `var-log.ext4` file just to delete it later during bootup.
3. For the partition containing `/host`, don't reserve any blocks for just the root user. This just makes sure all disk space is available for all users, if needed during upgrades (for example).


* Remove pip2 and pip3 caches from some containers

Only containers which appeared to have a significant pip cache size are
included here.

* Run tune2fs on the device containing /host to not reserve any blocks for just the root user
