Add a job that builds and tests mctp inside an Alpine Linux container, to catch musl portability issues in CI before they surface during the meta-openembedded bump process (CodeConstruct#126). Modeled on the existing no-libsystemd job: Alpine doesn't have libsystemd, so the same meson dependency check that already gates the dbus-based tests keeps this job to the plain test-mctp suite, matching what it can actually exercise without dbus. Verified locally in an alpine:latest container: configure, build, and test all pass (7/7 subtests in test-mctp), with libsystemd and libcap correctly reported as not found.

Summary
Adds a job that builds and tests mctp inside an
alpine:latestcontainer, to catch musl portability issues in CI before they affect the meta-openembedded bump process, as requested in #126.It's modeled on the existing
no-libsystemdjob: Alpine doesn't ship libsystemd, so the same meson dependency check that already gates the dbus-based tests (test-mctpd,test-mctpd-endpoint) keeps this job to the plaintest-mctpsuite, which is what it can actually exercise without dbus.Test plan
