Description

From dev list thread:

Another minor improvement for users is if we pre-add $SOLR_TIP/lib to the classloader, similar to what we have with $SOLR_HOME/lib today. The disadvantage of $SOLR_HOME/lib is that it can be anywhere, perhaps on a Docker volume or a different disk, so you cannot e.g make a Dockerfile like

FROM solr:9.0
ADD foo.jar /var/solr/data/lib/foo.jar

...since /var/solr/data is a volume and will resolve to the volume partition of the user, not the content from the image. So if we instead allow users to do

FROM solr:9.0
ADD foo.jar /opt/solr/lib/

That is both logical and beautiful, and would always work.
