e3c7f9b632 Capture build artifacts for failed builds
Motivation:
When a build fails, it's desirable to have the build artifacts available
so the build failure can be inspected, investigated and hopefully fixed.

Modification:
Change the Makefile and CI workflow such that the build artifacts are
captured and uploaded when the build fails.

Result:
A "target.zip" file is now available for download on failed GitHub
Actions builds.

59b564ddc8 Add a docker-based build
Motivation:
Because of the current dependency on snapshot versions of the Panama Foreign version of OpenJDK 16, this project is fairly involved to build.

Modification:
To make it easier for newcomers to build the binaries for this project, a docker-based build is added.
The docker image is constructed such that it contains a fresh snapshot build of the right fork of Java.
A make file has also been added, which encapsulates the common commands one would use for working with the docker build.

Result:
It is now easy for newcomers to make builds, and run tests, of this project, as long as they have a working docker installation.
