What

Refactor docker targets to allow running with no image update.

  • Makefile (docker-latest, docker-run-latest): Update image if needed
    before running the docker job.
    (docker, docker-run): Remove dependency on update so targets can
    be used with no automated update check.

Why

When on a slow network it becomes a burden to force an update of the
Emacs docker image. It can take a really long time. The updates seems
to be on a daily basis, possibly due to the images being rebuilt on a
daily frequency. But for old Emacsen that does not make much sense.

To get the latest docker image either a manual update with make
docker-update can be used or the new targets docker-latest or
docker-run-latest that does an image update.
