[QGIS-Developer] oracle provider (testing)

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi Richard,

the only option that worked for me was to install a VirtualBox VM from
Oracle Big Data Lite.
I also installed a sample dataset called "cola"

It was a long time ago and I can't exactly remember the steps, but
IIRC it was an official Oracle image that was released for testing
purposes.

For CI I think we use a docker from oslandia but I couldn't make it
work on my machine at the time:
