- GDAL + JNI has to be compiled.
Update Dockerfile to use previously documented workflow.
Update GDAL dependency to more current version.

Decisions during code sprint:

deegree supports GDAL library version 3.
Minor versions of the jar file and the GDAL library installed on the operating system seem to be compatible. Different version combinations were tested and no issues were detected. Thus, the minor versions of the GDAL jar file and of the GDAL library installed on the operating system must not necessarily match.
- Still, a hint how to exchange the GDAL jar file inside the webapp to match versions shall be added to the documentation.

Open for discussion:

Shall the deegree Docker Image contain GDAL? Alternatively, shall there be a separate Docker Image for deegree with GDAL?
What shall be the default version of the GDAL jar file in deegree?

What shall be the default version of the GDAL jar file in deegree?

We decided to go with version 3.6.0 as errors are logged with the latest version 3.7.0 (see https://github.com/deegree/deegree3/pull/1466#issuecomment-1545749828 for details).
