wiki update: prebuilt docker images about pljava HOT 2 CLOSED

I've fixed the CI/CD on my project (https://github.com/beargiles/postgresql-pljava-docker) - it should automatically build and deploy new images as new official PostgreSQL docker images are released. (No RC versions though.)

Modulo the fact that I'm only checking once a week - I should probably bump that since I've fixed the bug that resulted in repeated builds and deployments.

PLUS

I now build both 'bookworm' and 'bullseye' versions. You aren't forced to use the latest Debian release. I am not building the Alpine version.

PLUS

I've modified the pljava-dev version so it downloads and rebuilds the Debian source package (postgresql-15-pljava). That's usually a good thing if you want to modify a package (e.g., you want to edit pl/java itself) but there's a rather big annoyance that the upstream provider includes the pl/java version in the name of the source directory (postgresql-pljava-1.6.4). I don't have an easy way to determine this within the Dockerfile so updates to that image will break when the upstream moves to 1.6.5.

It should be easy to fix with a simple shell script - I've been focused on creating a clean Dockerfile first.

FINALLY

I mentioned it above - as I write this the latest official PostgreSQL 14 and 15 packages still use 1.6.4. It will still be far easier to start with this image (simply replace the 1.6.4 jar) than to perform the full installation from scratch.

The official PostgreSQL packages do not yet provide a pljava package for 16rc1.

I've added this to the prebuilt-packages wiki page. Thanks for your patience. I wish GitHub had a few more intermediate wiki-permission options between "nobody else can edit" and "everybody can edit".
