Subject: [PATCH] Dockerfile `twenty-server` target  (#20028)

# Introduction
Creating a target funnel that allow bypassing front build and injection
in the server

## New targets
- `twenty-server` only ships server
- `twenty` ships both front and back in the same image
- `twenty-server-aws` only ships server and `aws-cli`
- `twenty-aws` ships both front and back in the same image with the
`aws-image`
