Backcheck container creation / profiles and documentation.

[D Delmar Davis]

The current profile and ubuntu-lts for 2020 are missing openssh and probably a few other things.

[D Delmar Davis]

Set default profile to susdev20 and verified that ubuntu-18-04 works as expected.

Now to test using 20.04

Ok.

Removed the workarounds for resolvd and refreshed the image.
Works for focal. Will backcheck against 18.04.

Rebuilt guenter to checkout redmine.

Will update the creating/using new containers doc before closing this.

• Added brute force package install to susdev20 profile.
• tested new install for both 18.04 and focal.

Packages section does not work on ubuntu as fresh install can't find repositories.

Will document later today.
