    Symlink all non Dockerfile resources in images · 897337cd
    Paul Bourke authored
    The only files in the docker image directories that differ majorly between
    distros are the Dockerfiles (e.g. different package manager mechanisms,
    different repo sources, etc).
    
    The supporting files such as the start.sh/check.sh and config files should
    largely stay the same between base images.
    
    This change moves these files up into a "common" directory, and symlinks them
    in the same way that the build script is managed. This means when adding a new
    base distro only new Dockerfiles need to be created. Also, if a distro does
    happen to require a vastly different start.sh script for example, one can
    choose to simply not symlink to the common and instead drop in a custom one.
    
    Implements: blueprint refactor-base-image-layout
