Docker Container Support

[alhasacademy96]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This issue proposes introducing Docker container support to streamline environment setup, dependencies management, and improve reproducibility for the Kinds-of-Intelligence-CFI/animal-ai project. The benefit would be cross-repository, where testing would benefit the most from this feature.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding Docker support to this repository can offer several advantages:

1. Reproducibility: Ensures that all users run the same software versions and configurations.
2. Ease of Setup: Reduces the time required to install dependencies, troubleshoot, and configure the environment.
3. Portability: Allows contributors to work on different OS without environment-specific issues.
4. Scalability: Supports deployment across different cloud providers or CI/CD pipelines using containerized workflows.

So, the full process would be something like this...

1. Create a Dockerfile: Define a Dockerfile to encapsulate the dependencies and configurations. This file should:

Install necessary libraries and dependencies (Unity, ML-Agents, Python, etc.).
Copy necessary project files into the container.
Set up any required environment variables.
Docker Compose (Optional): If the project requires multiple services (e.g., a database, separate backend service), create a docker-compose.yml to orchestrate multi-container setups.

2. Documentation: Add instructions to the README or a docker/README.md to guide users on:

3. Building and running the Docker container locally.
Configuring and mounting any external files (like YAML files) into the container for custom configurations.
CI Integration: (Optional) Update GitHub Actions workflow to build and test the Docker image on each commit, ensuring environment consistency.

Describe alternatives you've considered
