Fix the Docker build for our javascript Docker image (#8661)
I noticed that our JavaScript Docker image is a couple years old and
seems to have an old NPM version that may be causing problems on #8610,
so I went ahead and rebuilt the image. To do that successfully, I had to
set some environment variables in the Dockerfile so that it can build
successfully without having to ask for input about timezone
configuration. This seems to be a known issue described here:
https://serverfault.com/questions/949991/how-to-install-tzdata-on-a-ubuntu-docker-image
I also updated it to explicitly install Python since that is required
for part of our JavaScript build.
