Description

As per the discussion that took on the list: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/8f4f36fa85c04b02151f7ff0b8402bc350983c88b96dba843f7158bc@%3Cdev.nifi.apache.org%3E

There was a preference to establish a separate release process for NiFi (inclusive of all subprojects) Dockerfiles and the preference was to make this against a separate repository.

Accordingly, we should request a new repository. To keep things broadly scoped, I would recommend calling this nifi-containerization such that we can include not only Docker specific items but those that apply to this same general usage of NiFi components.

Once established, we should then consolidate relevant container code from their current repos to the newly created repo.

We will then need to establish/migrate Docker hub builds to match to the directory structure we have established.

We will need to update the NiFi release guide to remove the sections mentioning Docker and will need to create/augment the release docs to talk about the procedure we will use for managing the Dockerfile release process.
