Move build from workflow job to container action

- Used apt-get instead of apt because using apt in a script gives the warning message "apt does not have a stable interface".
- Removed usages of sudo just to be consistent (I can't always use sudo because initially sudo isn't installed)
- Added --no-daemon to gradle command because only one gradle command is being run so the daemon isn't necessary.
- Added --quiet to apt-get usages to cut down unuseful lines in logs

Having the action be in a separate actions folder may not be desirable, in which case I can probably move the action into the workflow folder somewhere but I'm not sure where.

Copy my docker action from my similar PR in Jamepad

Copied from libgdx/Jamepad#34 Similar structure should work, but will of course need to adjust to suit the libgdx action
