Heroku docker deploy

[metasoarous]

This PR contains some work that we've done in order to get polis deployed through heroku, as well as some generic improvements to the deployment & dev setup infrastructure.

@micahstubbs Any chance you could help out with the npm ci issue (and review if you have time)? Thanks!

Nice work. This all looks really good. If it builds and deploys properly I guess that is the real test.
I'm curious about the four canonical branches: Is main more stable than stable?

Odd. Doesn't seem to be any visible issue at line 350 of lockfile...?

Looks neat! Stoked for this to land.

Small note of caution on using clojure for build system and general scripting stuff. JS sometimes sucks, but clojure (may it achieve great success! ✊) might confound many future contributors from engaging if they're in a learned helplessness mode in such a core system. Also, if it has issues, ppl might immediate be discouraged, whereas issues in JS might mean they'll dive in to resolve.

Only a fractional number of people will be able to offer support if something needs improvement (the hardcore ppl will learn, but many will just be like "i don't understand what seems to be the entry point of polis")

JS vs shell vs clojure pushes (this quarter)

But anyhow, +1 of merging, regardless, just something to be mindful of in long run 🙃

Thanks for the review @ballPointPenguin!

We're transitioning from dev -> edge and main -> stable. For right now I'm just adding actions for all of them so that there isn't as much fussing to do when we're ready to make the transition.
