Drop debug symbols from some sysexts

These were present in containerd, incus, and overlaybd.

Also restore SLSA to the podman sysext as we normally include this.

How to use

Check the contents of these sysexts, and check whether they still work.

Testing done

I've done the above. Big space savings all round, including 33MB to the base image!

  • Changelog entries added in the respective changelog/ directory (user-facing change, bug fix, security fix, update)
  • Inspected CI output for image differences: /boot and /usr size, packages, list files for any missing binaries, kernel modules, config files, kernel modules, etc.
