Extend REDAXO setup via custom-setup.sh script 🚀

After REDAXO has been successfully installed, a /usr/local/bin/custom-setup.sh script is executed, if it is available. This can be quite useful for pre-installing REDAXO addOns, updating configuration or further customizing the environment.

For example, our website demos make use of it to auto-install demo packages via CLI. See custom-setup.sh of the base demo, copied via Dockerfile into the container.

Also, a working recipe: REDAXO + custom setup with pre-installed addons
