enabled when developing in a devcontainer.

Let's use version 2.3.7 to fix the following error as we do in docker
images created in https://github.com/citusdata/the-process/ repo.
```
ImportError: cannot import name 'url_quote' from 'werkzeug.urls' (/home/onurctirtir/.local/share/virtualenvs/regress-ffZKpSmO/lib/python3.9/site-packages/werkzeug/urls.py)
```
And changing werkzeug version required rebuilding Pipfile.lock file in
src/test/regress. Before updating this Pipfile.lock file, we want to
make sure that versions specified there don't break any tests. And to
ensure that this is the case,
https://github.com/citusdata/the-process/pull/155 synchronizes
requirements.txt file based on new Pipfile.lock and hence this PR
updates test image suffix accordingly.
Also, while updating https://github.com/citusdata/the-process/pull/155,
I also had to update Postgres versions to latest minors to make image
builds passing again and updating Postgres versions in images requires
updating Postgres versions in this repo too. While doing that, we also
update Postgres version used in devcontainer too.
The devcontainer missed two tools used by code formatting, as done by
`ci/fix_style.sh`
The missing tools were both python tools, used for formatting our python
scripts.
- black
- isort
This change adds both tools. The way it does this is by keeping a
`requirements.txt` in `.devcontainer/` containing all python
dependencies we need to install. When installing both tools in a clean
environment we have exported all installed packages with `pip freeze`
into the `requirements.txt` assuming this is all related to the two
tools installed.
Since python installs the binaires in `~/.local/bin/` we also move some
scripts we manually install from `~/.bin/` to that same directory. At
first it seemed like vscode's devcontainers were not having that on the
path. However, when the container has that directory when it starts the
directory does get added to `$PATH` by `~/.profile`. This makes the
whole environment a bit more streamlined.
Postgres got minor updates on Nov9, this starts using the images with
the latest version for our tests, namely 14.10, 15.5 and 16.1.
These minor updates were compatible with Citus.
Sister PR: https://github.com/citusdata/the-process/pull/152
When debugging postgres it is quite hard to get to the source for
`errfinish` in `elog.c`. Instead of relying on the developer to set a
breakpoint in the `elog.c` file for `errfinish` for `elevel == ERROR`,
this change adds the breakpoint to `.gdbinit`. This makes sure that
whenever a debugger is attached to a postgres backend it will break on
postgres errors.
When attaching the debugger a small banner is printed that explains how
to disable the breakpoint.
During the creation of the devcontainer we need to add a ppa repository,
which is easiest done via software-properies-common. As turns out this
installes pkexec into the container as a side effect.
When vscode tries to attach a debugger it first checks if pkexec is
installed as this gives a nicer popup asking for elevation of rights to
attach to the process. However, since dev containers don't have a
windowing system running pkexec isn't working as expected and thus
prevents the debugger from attaching.
Without pkexec in the container vscode 'falls back' to plain old sudo
which we can run passwordless in the container.
For pkexec to be removed we need to first purge
software-propertied-common as well as autoremove all packages that were
installed due to the installation of said package. By performing this
all in one step we minimize the size of the layer we are creating.
This change adds a devcontainer configuration to the Citus project. This
devcontainer allows for quick generation of isolated development
environments, either local on the machine of a developer or in a cloud,
like github codepaces.
The devcontainer is updated automatically by github actions when its
configuration changes.

container see CONTRIBUTING.md
