Description
Enhancement
Currently we have Docker image in release-centos7-llvm. It is used to build release distributions.
It can be used as the compiler toolchain in daily development, so that developers don't need to carefully configure compiler toolchains by their own.
We can make the following improvements to make it more developer friendly:
- Keep compile unit cache by default. Use different build directories for different build types.
- Keep Cargo cache and Rust toolchain cache, so that dependencies don't need to be downloaded again and again.
- Respond correctly to Ctrl+C.
- Optional: Shrink the image size for easier hub downloading.
By using the Docker as the daily development toolchain, it will be also easier to upgrade the LLVM toolchain, without worrying about different developers have different OS that may not be able to install the toolchain.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing Docker image and toolchain described as release-centos7-llvm, then review related pull request #5344. The work is done when daily development preserves compile-unit, Cargo, and Rust toolchain caches, handles Ctrl+C correctly, and optionally reduces image size.
