[GNC] Building 5.1 on Ubuntu 22.04

[Mark at Lorimark]

Hi Mike,

I am just trying to get set up with a dev enviro myself.  To that end, I 
have made two efforts.

1. docker
2. VM

I have docker scripts that seem to work to set up a new image with all 
the necessary build-tools, but running gnucash from within docker 
creates some challenges so I started a second effort to build a VM.

For the VM I have two scripts that I execute to "build up" the box.  I 
have attached both here (note these scripts are brand-new, so still some 
editing to do within them - hope they help);
