Libpostal REST Docker

libpostal (https://github.com/openvenues/libpostal) is a C library for parsing and normalizing street addresses. Using libpostal requires compiling a C program that downloads ~2GB of training data.

This Dockerfile automates that compilation and creates a container with libpostal and gopostalmulti.c which allows for an interaction of a TCP socket using msgpack responses for the best performance.
