PHP's OPcache extension is recommended for most PHP systems, but is not currently installed in our official Docker images. This PR installs OPcache in each of our Docker images. In a blank development environment, the overhead cost per request was observed to be 70% less with OPcache installed. This is particularly important for pages powered by our new GraphQL API, because this overhead cost is incurred for each pagination request. In my human testing, pages felt considerably faster as I clicked around on the site.
