building Docker images which require pip to install psutils fails unless gcc is installed

Remember to label the issue with the appropriate area, and also assign it to yourself if you plan to work on the issue in the near future.

Describe the bug
Building the Docker images for api_app/Dockerfile or resource_processor/vmss_porter/Dockerfile fails at the 'pip install' step due to gcc and python3-dev not being installed in the image.

In both cases, adding RUN apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y gcc python3-dev before the pip install command is enough to fix the problem.

N.B. This is on a Mac with a manual installation from the terminal, but I don't believe that is responsible for the problem since it occurs inside the container being built.

Steps to reproduce

1. clone AzureTRE repository
2. follow manual build procedure
3. when it reaches the stage to build either of these Docker images, it fails with a pip message that psutils cannot be built because of gcc and python3-dev being absent

Azure TRE release version (e.g. v0.14.0 or main):
main

none, didn't get that far

@TonyWildish Can you confirm that you running inside the dev container? Thanks.

[TonyWildish]

no, running from the Terminal command line on a Mac.

Can you test within the dev container? As per the other thread, it's extremely hard to support multiple platforms, hence the dev container resolves most of these challenges.

[TonyWildish]

can do, I'll get back to you.

Hi @TonyWildish did this work in the dev container? Thanks.

[TonyWildish-BH]

Hi Marcus, yes, it does work in the devcontainer.

Ok, closing as the supported route is via dev container. Thanks.
