BIRT: Cannot load PG drivers #4

Probably my lack of understanding how to install these. They need to be included in image. The "OK" button never becomes active to select.

Seems like that previous comment is from a bot or something...

I can definitely fix this one, DBeaver will automatically download Postgres drivers from Maven, so we just need to point BIRT to those drivers.

I don't know if there is a way to configure that through CLI (so I'm not sure if we can do it in the Dockerfile) but I can configure manually and then commit the container to a new image.

@Andrew0Hill I've done the same cheap trick -- load it into a container and then save the container as an image. It breaks auto-builds so it is less desirable. But it is a cheap shortcut.......

Dockerfile copies Postgres driver into image, so BIRT can see it.
