[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/4 v2] support/docker: rename the Dockerfile and its accompanying file

Currently, we only generate one docker image, for use by the gitlab-ci
infra.

However, users have expressed an interest in using that image for other
uses, like:

  - reproducing build failures as reported by the gitlab-ci jobs;

  - having a ready-to-use base image to use as-is, or as a template for
    further customisations.

Additionally, some users have reported the need for similar base images,
but based off different distros, with the same goals as above, plus:

  - reproducing build failures reported by users on other distros.

As a first step toward providing such images, rename our Dockerfile to
include the name and version of the distro it is based off.

We add a symlink so that we still have a 'base' image that we can
reference from the gitlab-ci infra.
