Implement pulsar-dev-container

[ottok]

Make it easier for new contributors to get up-and-running quickly by introducing a single script that builds a container with all required dependencies, and allows to easily run any yarn command in the project.

You can test this by running e.g.

./container/pulsar-dev-container.sh
./container/pulsar-dev-container.sh yarn start

Demo:

output.mp4

Thanks for the contribution!

I'm not a habitual Docker user, so I'm curious if another contributor (@DeeDeeG?) is willing to give more informed feedback on this than I can muster.

Thank you for taking the time to do all this!

I don't believe the currently active team members are using Docker much, and this would be fairly parallel to the CI definitions we do use. I think it's neat and would be happy to point people to this PR if they need a Docker setup to get started. But the likelihood of maintenance on our side feels low, so putting it in the core repo feels like a "wrong location" thing, IMO. (For bitrot concerns, and due to the lack of a code owner among the long-haul established team who can support and explain it well to potential newcomers).

Just one opinion and open to hearing other voices from core team and potential / current contributors.

You do have a Dockerfile (https://github.com/pulsar-edit/pulsar/blob/8da14949c75af2d0779f36acb44487075f56b6cb/Dockerfile) and you haven't removed or maintaned it.

As it is most likely not used by anyone, I could add a commit to this PR that deletes that file.

It is my personal hope that the existing Dockerfile is removed on master branch at some point. (I should probably PR that if I am the most opinionated about it.) Apologies for the delays / slow pace of things.

Update: I opened said PR: #1479
