Install notes for Guacamole 1.5.0 and Ubuntu Server 22.04

[Ivanmarcus <iv...@yahoo.com.INVALID>]

In case it's useful to anyone here's what I did to get Guacamole 1.5.0 
running with Tomcat9 on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM.

Essentially this is similar to my previous notes for earlier versions of 
Guacamole and Ubuntu, but with necessary package updates etc.

I should comment that previously there has been some discussion over the 
use of /etc for the location of the .war file. It's not necessary to 
install it there, you could put it in /opt, or wherever works for you.

In terms of testing I've given this latest install a brief try with RDP 
to a Win7 VM and it seemed to work fine, however I've not progressed 
further than the login. Therefore I'd treat this as a guide only, and 
suggest it would be advisable to carry out some trials before utilising 
in a production environment. If you find any issues, or have suggestions 
to improve, please let me know.

Finally the observant will see I've not included the requisite packages 
for video recording or Kubernetes. They're simple to install if you need 
them, the information is available in the official installation detail 
here: https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/installing-guacamole.html
