Update underlying docker image or use third party one

[fjgarlin]

While working on #79 it was obvious that a lot has changed since last year (as it should in our world).

• Latest Drupal is now PHP8+ compatible, which means that recent sqlite versions aren't shipped with PHP.
• Composer 2 is now more stablished everywhere and should be the default
• Node 10 is unsupported

So the suggestion is to create a new image with the latest and brightest (for now) and change all instances of juampynr/drupal8ci:latest for that new one. Or to leverage an existing image which has what we need in it.

We can probably get an image with most of our needs out there, and then maybe add the latest LTS node and a few other useful tools to it.

The work here is mostly on the Dockerfile(9)s and then the image will need to be uploaded to dockerhub. Once this is done we can change and test the rest of the code.

Related issues/PRs:

• Add option to allow package upgrades. #79
• Create Composer 2 version for both Dockerfile and Dockerfile9 #72

Sounds good @fjgarlin. I think that it makes sense to update the Dockerfile to create a new image.

As for where to store the image, I would prefer GitHub's Container Registry rather than Docker Hub since now in Docker hub you need to pay in order to do automated builds.

+1 for upgrading base image, I recently upgraded my Drupal site to use PHP 8.1, but getting error on CI as image is still stuck at PHP 8.0.

An attempt at this is made here: #81

Just thinking out loud here... I wonder how difficult would it be to add ddev or something like it (aka simple and easy) to the project, or find/create an image where we can set versions of PHP, node, etc. which also contains all we need.

In one of my personal project, I'm using following in .gitlab-ci.yml file for using PHP 8.1.

image: drupal:php8.1-apache-bullseye

Perhaps the next major version of this project could be an interactive command line interface. Thoughts @fjgarlin ?

That would be something really cool to get. Give the users a few options to choose from and then generate everything with the right versions. I really like the idea.

I am going to start creating one using https://github.com/spf13/cobra-cli
