Describe issue

It seems that for the workflow jobs runner explicitly uses /usr/bin/tail command which can be located in different paths on certain images. For instance:

prom/prometheus:v2.37.1 doesn't have it:

/prometheus $ which tail
/bin/tail

/prometheus $ stat /usr/bin/tail
stat: can't stat '/usr/bin/tail': No such file or directory

bitnami/prometheus:2.37.0 has it:

$ which tail
/usr/bin/tail

$ stat /usr/bin/tail
  File: /usr/bin/tail
  Size: 76864     	Blocks: 152        IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 8bh/139d	Inode: 3411938     Links: 1

Change: 2022-11-21 18:18:41.323089844 +0000
 Birth: 2022-11-21 18:18:41.322089844 +0000

That being said, workflow fails due to error:

[Verify Prometheus/verify]   🐳  docker run image=prom/prometheus:v2.37.1 platform= entrypoint=["/usr/bin/tail" "-f" "/dev/null"] cmd=[]
Error: failed to start container: Error response from daemon: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: exec: "/usr/bin/tail": stat /usr/bin/tail: no such file or directory: unknown

It should just pickup it up regardless where it is located, e.g. from PATH env or just using tail.
