Lagoon adaptions

This image is prepared to be used on Lagoon. There are therefore some things already done:

• Folder permissions are automatically adapted with fix-permissions, so this image will work with a random user.

Included default.vcl configuration file

The image ships a default vcl configuration file, optimized to work on Lagoon. Some options are configurable via environments variables (see Environment Variables).
