Change to debian:bookworm-slim as base image for the controller

Malte Bauch requested to merge controller-docker-image-to-debian-bookworm-slim into master

The current controller image is around 853MB in size at the moment. This is because we are using golang:1.21-bookworm as base image. For the controller itself this image provides way more than actually needed, therefore this MR switches to a minimized image as base (debian:bookworm-slim).

It should also be possible to use scratch or alpine but this would need some adjustments in combination with the generated plugins. The image used in this MR is already quite small in size (~113mb with the controller) and does not need any further adjustments.

Reducing the size even further would be something for a real production setup.
