George Kalpakas 2d065a32ec docs(docs-infra): improve docs on creating/updating the preview server Docker image (#37015)
This commit includes the following improvements:

- Document that the `create-image.sh` script (and by extention the
  `update-preview-server.sh` script) need to have access to a `yarn`
  executable.

- Add a note on cron jobs running in non-interactive, non-login shells
  (which affects their execution context and have different behavior vs
  running the same commands in an interactive, login shell).

- Change the Node.js and `yarn` installation instructions to ensure the
  `yarn` executable will be available on the `PATH` and not require an
  interactive, login shell (as happens, for example, when installing it
  via [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)). This makes it easier to set
  up a cron job that runs the `update-preview-server.sh` script.

NOTE: The equivalent updates have been made on the GCE VM that hosts the
      PR preview server.

# VM setup - Create docker image
## Install git, Node.js and yarn
- `sudo apt-get update`
- `sudo apt-get install -y git`
- Install the latest stable version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download).
- Install the latest stable version of [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install).
## Checkout repository
- `git clone <repo-url>`
## Build docker image
- `<aio-builds-setup-dir>/scripts/create-image.sh [<name>[:<tag>] [--build-arg <NAME>=<value> ...]]`
- You can overwrite the default environment variables inside the image, by passing new values using
`--build-arg`.
**Note 1:** The script has to execute docker commands with `sudo`.
**Note 2:**
The script has to execute `yarn` commands, so make sure `yarn` is on the `PATH` when invoking the
script.
## Example
The following commands would create a docker image from GitHub repo `foo/bar` to be deployed on the
`foobar-builds.io` domain and accepting PR deployments from authors that are members of the
`bar-core` and `bar-docs-authors` teams of organization `foo`:
- `git clone https://github.com/foo/bar.git foobar`
- Run:
```sh
./foobar/aio-builds-setup/scripts/create-image.sh foobar-builds \
--build-arg AIO_REPO_SLUG=foo/bar \
--build-arg AIO_DOMAIN_NAME=foobar-builds.io \
--build-arg AIO_GITHUB_ORGANIZATION=foo \
--build-arg AIO_GITHUB_TEAM_SLUGS=bar-core,bar-docs-authors
```

[here](image-config--environment-variables.md).
