Currently, *.pyc files affect whether the monitoring image is rebuilt or not, so if someone using the repository has a tool that manipulates *.pyc files (e.g., a full-featured IDE like IntelliJ), they will build the monitoring image far more frequently than is necessary. This PR excludes prebuilt *.pyc files from the image and removes them as a make dependency. Removing prebuilt *.pyc files is also desirable generally as the host machine on which they are built may build them differently than the container in which the image is run.
