biodynamo util/install script is outdated

When running curl https://biodynamo.github.io/install | bash, we clone the v1.04-patches branch. Last commit on this branch was last year, and it doesn't even support ubuntu 22.04...

Should we install biodynamo from master? https://github.com/BioDynaMo/biodynamo/blob/a4ff39341f06f901064dafde1ddf6b4d80fb8ecf/util/install#L8

I'd suggest tagging a v1.06 release and redirecting the installation to this commit. v1.04 is outdated by now. Would probably also be a good idea to think about working on supporting Ubuntu 24.04 & removing CentOS7 but not sure if there is capacity for that among the developers atm.

Regarding this and also related to issues on not being able to use this , on other systems (like mine:arch). I would like to propose a Solution, That could be put into documentation, To let other users be able to use it. -Using Ubuntu on Container -Running BioDynamo inside an Ubuntu-based Docker container on Arch or any other platform. -Installing manually BioDynamo and other dependencies that are required.

We can also present many scripts just like presented in documentation. I would like to work on it. If this solution is Alright.

Thank you
