Rewrite deploy

Reuse deploy code from kb-doms (Royal Library Digital Object Managemnt System code):

• machine definition class (for different os)
• hirarchy modules at machine and application level

Use follwing design:

• check input
• read minimum default settings that are needed for deploy (e.g. baseDirs)
• make physical location objects with from global level in it-config overwritten by specific physical location settings
• for each physical location
  • make machine objects specified for the location correspong to the mashine OS
  • overwrite/add settings for maschine
  • for each machine
    • make application objects specified for the machine
    • overwrite/add settings for application
• make consistency checks on known listed dependencies (e.g. bitarchives defined as common replicas)
• use methods on objects in hierarchy to produce various scripts
