The manifest.yaml of an integration should list the system-provided packages for optional Python dependencies when they are available, rather than the pip packages.
Add apk sections to the manifest files.

Reason for 1: as pip is now discouraging installing Python packages in the system folder, and installing the application in a virtual environment isn't always an option, we want to install Python dependencies from the system-provided packages when available.

Reason for 2: Platydock is moving towards using Alpine rather than Ubuntu as a base image, and any official image is likely to be based on Alpine too.
