Publish Multi-Architecture Docker images

[bpholt]

I have trouble running the official fthomas/scala-steward:0.14.0 Docker image on the Apple M1-based Mac I've been issued at work. Building an image locally works, but requires the modification of some of the build steps, in addition to using a different base image.

In theory, this project should be able to publish a multi-architecture Docker image, such that users running on different platforms (x86-64, ARM64, etc) would be able to run an image native to their platform.

Is that something this project would be interested in doing, if it required changing from adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine to the non-Alpine variant of Eclipse Temurin? (The Alpine-based Temurin images currently only support AMD64, not ARM64.)

If so, I will try to put together a PR proposing how it could be done, but I thought I'd ask before spending too much time on it.

Posting my diff of what I used to build for arm architecture.

Need to compose multiple runs in a single one and add cache cleanup to reduce layer size.

I don't use the Scala Steward Docker image and I'm also not very familiar with the Docker ecosystem. I'll probably merge anything Docker related if it sounds reasonable to me. :-)

Initial work with #3417 - I think though there's going to be more to this. While the contents of the image are now multi-arch friendly, I think the current CI setup is still building a single-architecture image.

Looks like this is sbt-docker's domain - attempting to use #3419

The solution isn't complete, So this ticket is open again.
