Generated Docker Compose files

By default, JHipster will generate Docker Compose files that enable us to run the application completely in the containerized environment, irrespective of the options chosen. For example, in the gateway application that we have generated, the following files are generated by default under src/main/docker:

• mysql.yml: This file creates and starts a MySQL database server and creates a user and schema
• jhipster-registry.yml: This file creates and starts a JHipster Registry service
• app.yml: This is the main file that creates and starts the application along with services such as JHipster registry and the database
