Description

Right now our integration tests run go install ./... inside a boulder-tools container, then run the resulting binaries. Instead, they should use the same build scripts that our release process uses to build a minimal Boulder container, and then run that container as the service for our integration tests to hit.

Followup to #8327

Research direction

Start by tracing the integration-test setup that runs go install ./... in the boulder-tools container, then compare it with the build scripts used by the release process. Check the follow-up issue #8327 for context. Done means the tests build a minimal Boulder container through the release scripts and use that container as the service they exercise.
