BUG: Support cgroups V2 in elasticsearch docker

[lyz-code]

Describe the bug The latest elasticsearch docker does not support cgroups v2 (which are the default since the linux kernel 6.12), this prevents the docker from starting on "modern" linux.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start the docker compose on a linux whose kernel is > 6.12
2. See error in the elasticsearch docker

Expected behavior The docker starts

Patch The best way to fix it is to upgrade the docker to use v2, if you can't you can force the system to use the v1. To do that:

• Edit /etc/default/grub to add the configuration GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0"
• Then update GRUB: sudo update-grub
• Reboot
