rebar3 compile dependencies separated from project code

[rtp]

Found a solution just now :-D

Just copy only the rebar.conf-file in a first step and compile it (I
didn't expect to work ... but it does) :

   FROM erlang:22

   WORKDIR /BUILD/

   # get deps in a first step - to use cache in next build ;-)

   COPY erlang/aw/rebar.config .
   RUN rebar3 compile

   # now get whole code

   COPY erlang/aw/ .
   RUN rebar3 as prod tar


Perhaps it helps someone :-)
