Using Docker to run p4vasp on Mac

Docker is a set of platform as a service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers.

Basically, Docker container is a slim version of a virtual machine. With docker, we can run application that can not usually run on Mac.

Since compiling p4vasp on Mac has gradually became a pain in the a** and apple has decided to go ARM. I decided that using docker container is probably easier to both run and manage it.
