Be more explicit about using Bazelisk in dev docs

Bazelisk was mentioned as a Bazel manager in the documentation, but then
all examples used the `bazel` command. At least on my machine this would
result in using old Bazel 3.7.2 or very new Bazel 6.3.1 installed
through my package manager. Neither of these versions seem appropriate
for Gerrit 3.7.

In order to make it more clear that using `bazelisk` as a `bazel`
replacement is necessary to take advantage of all the good that Bazelisk
does we update the docs to use the `bazelisk` command.

I've also taken this as an opportunity to add a bit more narrative
around testing with Bazel/Bazelisk in Gerrit as my confusion around
how to successfully run tests for the replication plugin is what led me
to write this change.

I'm happy to split this up into multiple changes or make edits for
accuracy (I'm definitely no expert).

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Build Status Maven Central

Objective

Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.

Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.

Documentation

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

Source

Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Build

Install Bazel and run the following:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit
    cd gerrit && bazel build release

Install binary packages (Deb/Rpm)

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here

On Debian/Ubuntu run:

    apt-get update && apt-get install gerrit=<version>-<release>

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.

On CentOS/RedHat run:

    yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

On Fedora run:

    dnf clean all && dnf install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

Use pre-built Gerrit images on Docker

Docker images of Gerrit are available on DockerHub

To run a CentOS 8 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-centos8

To run a Ubuntu 20.04 based Gerrit image:

    docker run -p 8080:8080 gerritcodereview/gerrit[:version]-ubuntu20

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
