Docker image

[sfarrens]

Summary

closes #598

• Added a Dockerfile for building Docker images with ShapePipe pre-installed
• Added GitHub action for automatically building the Docker image when changes are merged to master

If you want to test things locally you can checkout this branch and do the following.

docker build -t shapepipe .

Note: This will take a while. If you are on an M1 Mac then add the argument --platform linux/amd64 after build.

Then you can launch a container.

docker run -it --rm shapepipe

You will find all of the ShapePipe files in /home. The shapepipe environment will already be available with all the dependencies installed.

To Do

• Update Dockerfile with CANFAR-specific dependencies
• Update GitHub action to also push the built image to the CANFAR container registry

I have informed Sébastien Fabbro about this PR and asked for some more info regarding the two "To Do" items.
