Adding support for ACLK build-configuration (#8223)

* Fixes for issues not caught at review in #8144. (#8211)

* Properly scrub build environment for external dependencies.

* Remove LWS from our system-level dependencies.

We've decided to just always bundle it in the installer.

* Add missing dependency for Docker build process.

* Use static-build of LWS library created by installer (#8157)

* link static lib of LWS

* only use static LWS by installer

* handle -lcap

* fix problem on debian without lcap

* fix lws check
