Support for (Docker) Alpine Images

[trentdeversrp]

I get various errors attempting to build a docker image using the dotnet6-alpine image, due to package dependencies not being available via the apk package manager.

This issue is for a: (mark with an x)

- [x ] bug report -> please search issues before submitting
- [ ] feature request
- [x ] documentation issue or request
- [ ] regression (a behavior that used to work and stopped in a new release)

Minimal steps to reproduce

dockerfile
RUN apk update && apk add libgsf-1-dev libssl-dev libsecret-1-dev freeglut3-dev libcpprest-dev libcurl3-dev uuid-dev

Expected/desired behavior

The container image should be able to build as the base Alpine image is a standard Microsoft base image for running dotnet code. The Alpine base image is preferred over the Ubuntu/Debian image (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0) as it is more secure.

OS and Version?

Linux docker image (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0-alpine)
