[JENKINS-43186] should not use `docker inspect <image>`

docker pipeline relies on `docker inspect` to check for image to exist, but this can result in false positive as this command to look for containers, networks, volumes, plugins and images.

Should use `docker images -q` and check for result count, or on 1.13 and later `docker image inspect `.
