add --dc and --rack commandline arguments to the scylla docker image, to
allow starting a node with a specified dc and rack names in a simple
way.
This is useful mostly for small examples and demonstrations of starting
multiple nodes with different racks, when we prefer not to bother with
editing configuration files. The ability to assign nodes to different
racks is especially important with RF=Rack enforcing.
The previous method to achieve this is to set the snitch to
GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and provide a configuration file in
/etc/scylla/cassandra-rackdc.properties with the name of the dc and
rack.
The new dc and rack parameters are implemented similarly by using the
snitch GossipingPropertyFileSnitch and writing the dc and rack values to
the rackdc properties file. We don't support passing the parameters
together with a different snitch, or when mounting a properties file
from the host, because we don't want to overwrite it.
Example:
docker run -d --name scylla1 scylladb/scylla --dc my_dc1 --rack my_rack1

Today our docker image is based on Centos7 ,Since centos will be EOL in
2024 and no longer has stable release stream. let's move our docker image to be based on ubuntu 20.04
Based on the work done in https://github.com/scylladb/scylla/pull/8730,
let's build our docker image based on local packages using buildah
Closes#8849
