Fix references to container.tar.gz

Find all references to the `container.tar.gz` file, and replace them
with references to `container.tar`. Moreover, remove the `--no-save`
argument of `build-image.py` since we now always save the image.

Finally, fix some stale references to Poetry, which are not necessary
anymore.
