Change subject: Initial support for building the toolchain in docker
......................................................................


Patch Set 1:

Thanks for tackling this Hector!

Pinning the various dependencies would definitely be useful; we have been 
bitten several times by various packages suddenly getting updated under a 
seemingly unchanged setup script.
To ensure compatibility with the widest possible range of build platforms it 
would seem useful to pin the OS dependencies at suitable less recent release: 
probably not all Impala users run the latest and greatest release of their 
respective platforms at all times.

It is not just the OS platform (the FROM clause of the Dockerfiles) that may 
warrant pinning, the same approach seems useful for the installed components as 
well, e.g. by pinning repo descriptors to the repos corresponding to the 
platform version. This could ensure that an older platform would not suddenly 
be updated with packages from a much more recent release (unless explicitly 
allowed/requested by a change that can be identified later from the git 
history).
