Changes

introduces a local dev markdown file to explain how to get Docker (or postgres) installed on your development machine
adds a script for creating the Postgres container through Docker
adds several npm scripts to make creation, schema update, and migration simple
updates environment file to point to the local docker container
will no longer have multiple dev instances sharing the staging database

Risks

change to .env could cause issues for Heroku, I haven't looked into/tested this yet
