scripts: add tool to run containerized builds

Add a 'scripts/container' tool written in Python to run any command in
the source tree from within a container.  This can typically be used
to call 'make' with a compiler toolchain image to run reproducible
builds but any arbitrary command can be run too.  Only Docker and
Podman are supported in this initial version.

Add a new entry to MAINTAINERS accordingly.
