Build and use the compiler tool

[osokin]

Describe the bug

Permission denied during the policy compiling/output.

The workaround is to create in advance an output file and set appropriate permissions, otherwise compiler fails.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open https://docs.nginx.com/waf/configure/compiler/#compile-a-security-policy
2. View output
3. Run

docker run --rm \
 -v $(pwd):$(pwd) \
 waf-compiler-1.0.0:custom \
 -p $(pwd)/policy.json -o $(pwd)/compiled_policy.tgz

4. See error.

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is get a compiled policy file, compiled_policy.tgz.
