[JENKINS-60570] Docker fingerprint data written to file from WithContainerStep.java never gets cleaned up when image is used repeatedly

Job(s) that runs repeatedly using the same Docker image will end up creating a large fingerpring xml file and eventually cause slowdown in starting of the job because it could take a long time for the fingerprint xml file data to be written, especially when multiple jobs run around the same time using the same Docker image.

Also, there is no usage of the Docker fingerprint data from WithContainerStep.java. This writing of fingerprint data should be removed from WithContainerStep.java.
