This increases the support window of the OS used for PG17 by 2 years compared to the previous usage of Debian 11 "Bullseye".
Problem
Maintaining Debian 11 support for the full lifetime of our PG17 support is unlikely to be productive. Pre-emptively deploy PG17 on Debian 12, which should give us at least 2 more years of headroom vs Debian 11.
Summary of changes
Building the compute image is now parameterized with DEBIAN_FLAVOR, or the Debian docker base image used. For older versions that's still 'bullseye-slim', but for PG17 we now have 'bookworm-slim'.
