Docker image to run Electron/NodeJS on SteamRT

Build electron and node application on Steam Runtime (Ubuntu 18.04)

• Similar to https://github.com/prebuild/docker-images#centos7-devtoolset7
• Based on recent Steam Runtime Soldier
  • Steam Runtime Scout was too old for such scenario, hard to get good python >= 3.6, gcc 4.9, node 14, ...)
  • Most debian 12.x repo were outdated/removed, making any dependency a hassle to install
• Design to build electron or node native for Steam Linux
  • add nodejs 16.x
  • add npm, node-gyp and electron-rebuild
