The Dockerfile should be part of the example repository and provide a good deployment basis #99

The Dockerfile we have would be put to a much better end if it would serve as a deployment basis for an application written with Valum.

This is why I think it should be moved to the valum/example repository and rewritten so that it can:

install Valum using a distribution package or from source
build the application
serve the application

Container-based deployment might be the only way to deploy Valum application in the near future.

Heroku is great, but it's not very flexible and it was a real pain to make it work, so I think that we should focus on Docker.

The Dockerfile will provide a minimal container with the framework pre-installed to facilitate the deployment. The example repository will use that container to build and run.
