I tested this on Mac with Opera, I was able to verify that the docker container builds and runs successfully. I also tested the live reload feature which works as intended.

Closes Submitty/Submitty#12685
Why is this change important and necessary?
Building the site requires installing Ruby locally and managing gem dependencies / versions. Containerizing the development website will make it easier for developers to test the site.
What is the new behavior?
You can now run the site with docker compose. This avoids the need to have the proper versions of Ruby and Bundler installed locally.
What steps should a reviewer take to test?
docker compose upAutomated Testing and Documentation

What is different about this new PR over #748:
In PR #748, there was an issue where, when connecting to the server, it would put you on the port 0.0.0.0 and thus the browser would complain that the website was not secure. Aka, you would not actually be visiting http://localhost:4000
In the new PR, a _config_docker.yml file is added to make sure the link is properly set to http://localhost:4000
