commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=c4f844ff3212266f845ea812da2a8647a9f1e136
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

In commit 7517aef4d (support/docker: limit the number of layers),
we reduced the number of layers by coalescing multiple RUN commands
into less commands.

In doing so, we especially coalesced "apt-get update" with "apt-get
install".

However, the distribution we used is a pinned version of stretch, so
we know that running apt-get update will always yield the same apt
database.

If we split the two apt-get commands, then we can re-use any local
intermediate image when we need to update the list of packages to
install; this helps quite a bit when testing the docker files over
and over again, with just slight variants in the packages list.
