Description

Provide the ability to build a simple usable but extensible base image of the embedded broker. 

java -jar Broker with its defaults and a mount point for property files that can augment configuration.

This is an OCI tar image that can be built from source and loaded into any container registry.

For a image, that is extensible and configurable, but ultimately idempotent, there is no need for a build or install or artemis create, we can just use the java jar dependencies and run a simple java app with full control of env, classpath and configuration via mount points.

The properties config in the broker is at the point where 90% of the xml configuration is possible via property files. We can add the last 10% as the need arises.
