Firefly-1980: create a user installable standalone firefly

Testing

• install firefly on your machine
• create a install directory

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Caltech-IPAC/firefly/refs/heads/FIREFLY-1980-standalone/standalone/remoteInstall.sh | bash

• start the server ./startFirefly
• it should open the web browser

Information

• workarea and logs are under ~/.firefly
  • log files firefly.log and application.log
• installation including webapp dir is where ever you installed firefly
• if you want to change the port edit ~/.firefly/port.txt
• add java start up parameters ~/.firefly/user_ops.sh
• graphics are not final but I need a placeholder

Todo

• End user documentation
• add -help to install.sh and startFireflyServer.sh
• change temporary PR branch endpoints before merge
• maybe uninstall script?
• gradle: fix dependency
• gradle: put dependencies in local mavin
