I created this PR: tweaks to dev guide when setting up new laptop #10691

I've been setting up my new laptop and there were a few things in the dev guide that seemed a bit off.

Feedback welcome.

@Oliver Bertuch Steve K is used to the database being called dvndb and the user being called dvnapp so I added some hints for developers that under Docker these are different.

I can change it to recommend SDKMAN for all three platforms if you want.

Three? Not sure 'bout Windows. No wigwam and all.

I already say "On Mac and Windows, we suggest using SDKMAN..."

On podcasts I listen to, Windows folks use it. Java Pub House, for example.

Sooner or later the default JRE on Linux might be 21, so it's good to use sdkman anyway
