KUNAL PAI 9b9dc09f6e resources: Add the gem5 Resources Manager
A GUI web-based tool to manage gem5 Resources.

Can manage in two data sources,
a MongoDB database or a JSON file.

The JSON file can be both local or remote.

JSON files are written to a temporary file before
writing to the local file.

The Manager supports the following functions
on a high-level:
- searching for a resource by ID
- navigating to a resource version
- adding a new resource
- adding a new version to a resource
- editing any information within a searched resource
(while enforcing the gem5 Resources schema
found at: https://resources.gem5.org/gem5-resources-schema.json)
- deleting a resource version
- undo and redo up to the last 10 operations

The Manager also allows a user to save a session
through localStorage and re-access it through a password securely.

This patch also provides a
Command Line Interface tool mainly for
MongoDB-related functions.

This CLI tool can currently:
- backup a MongoDB collection to a JSON file
- restore a JSON file to a MongoDB collection
- search for a resource through its ID and
view its JSON object
- make a JSON file that is compliant with the
gem5 Resources Schema
