Description

The Fineract Container currently includes the the Tomcat Welcome Default App (the usual same old, with that welcome page, it can currently be seen e.g. on https://demo.fineract.dev).

This is so so because it's in that Bitnami Base Image we currently use. It's a bit confusing when using the container, is totally unnecessary, eats a bit of memory, and bloats the container size (slightly).

It should be a trivial to yank it with an appropriate RUN rm ... in the Dockerfile.

FINERACT-730 will eventually change the deployment model and container, but until we (finally...) do that, and because that's a bit more work whereas this is be a quick low hanging fruit, we should still do this if anyone is wiling to pick this up.
