Switch both stages from python:3.13-slim-bookworm to python:3.13-alpine3.24, matching the Alpine 3.24 images in dockstore-deploy, and uninstall pip from the runtime image. The image shrinks from 223 MB to 139 MB (86 MB to 53 MB compressed), and Trivy goes from 251 unfixable Debian CVEs plus 3 in pip's vendored msgpack/setuptools to none.

Description
Switches both Dockerfile stages from
python:3.13-slim-bookwormtopython:3.13-alpine3.24, matching the Alpine 3.24 images in dockstore-deploy, and uninstalls pip from the runtime image (its vendored msgpack/setuptools were the only Python CVEs). The image drops from 223 MB to 139 MB (86 → 53 MB compressed), and Trivy goes from 251 unfixable Debian CVEs plus 3 Python ones to none. It still runs as uid 10001 with the same HEALTHCHECK.Review Instructions
Based on #5, so review only the last commit.
docker build .then check that/healthresponds and the container reports healthy, or rely on the CI smoke test. After the image is published to Quay,MCP_DOCKER_TAGin dockstore-deploy'sDockstoreStack.javaneeds updating.Issue
