Docker: build rest-server at container build time

Using docker's multi-stage builds we can build the restic/rest-server
within a golang build environment then create a container for use
(without the build environment) in a second build stage.

The advantages are:

1. Building the rest-server is predictable in a pristine environment
   each time.
2. Container builds ensure we get the latest rest-server every time.

Updated README with details of new docker build approach, and added
changelog for unreleased changes.
