security: run Docker container as non-root user

Running containers as a non-root user is a long standing security practice.
The changes ensure that the sourcebot user is created and has the correct
level of permissions to run all its dependencies (postgres, redis and node).

Please note that as a side effect, existing mounted volumes would need to
have their ownership reviewed or it may not be able to access the files.
This is specially the case for previous versions that would create said
files as 0:0.

To fix that, users can run chown -R 1500:1500 /path/.sourcebot. The chmod
may also need to be a bit more strict in such cases, so changing that is
advised: chown -R 0750 /path/.sourcebot.
