Package DBB as a z/OS Container image

After the introduction of the z/OS Container Platform we want to leverage that and package our build framework (based on DBB) into a container. This allows us to more easily decide what version of DBB we work with and can more easily add features and test them.

This idea targets the release of z/OS Container images that contain DBB which we can use as a base image for our build system images.

This image should be published in the IBM Container Registry alongside the already existing z/OS Container images.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an Idea for our DBB product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always appreciated and very important to us. Your request is something we would like to explore as a future consideration, factoring in additional input from other customers and as such, we will mark it accordingly.
