When running a GHA job in a container, the runner transparently mounts the workspace as a volume inside the container. This directory is owned by the runner image's `runner` user, which on GitHub's official Ubuntu images has the UID 1001 and GID 1001. Use the same UID and GID for the `runner` user inside the alpine-builder image to eliminate errors when attempting to write to the workspace (e.g. by checking out code) inside the alpine-builder image.
