Subject: [PATCH] refactor(ci): Streamline package building workflow

The CI/CD pipeline has been significantly refactored to improve efficiency and reduce dependency on Docker containers during the build process. The core logic now uses temporary directories and direct execution commands, streamlining both the packaging of tarballs and the generation of the repository database. This change results in a faster and more robust build environment within the runner.

- Removed reliance on docker run for package building
- Simplified the mechanism for updating the pacman repository database
- Added necessary dependencies to base system installation steps
