Add initial Docker setup for Laravel PHP 7.4 application

This commit includes the addition of the following files:

.gitignore: This file includes the necessary ignore rules for the docker-compose/mysql and logs directories.
Dockerfile: This file contains the instructions for building the PHP 7.4 image for the Laravel application. The Dockerfile installs system dependencies, PHP extensions, npm, and Composer. It also creates a system user to run Composer and Artisan commands and sets the working directory to /var/www.
docker-compose.yml: This file is used to configure and run the containers for the Laravel application, MySQL database, and Nginx web server.
docker-compose/mysql/.empty: This file is an empty placeholder to ensure that the mysql directory is included in the Git repository.
docker-compose/nginx/nginx.conf: This file contains the Nginx configuration for the Laravel application.
logs/.empty: This file is an empty placeholder to ensure that the logs directory is included in the Git repository.
This commit provides a basic Docker setup for the Laravel PHP 7.4 application and sets the foundation for future development and deployment.
