Description

The current AgentUtil class only makes provision to lookup the `geode-web-api` and `geode-web` war files from known locations.
When referencing the `geode-web-api` and `geode-web` war's from a repository, the HTTP Services will fail, due to the requirement of having set `GEODE_HOME` to the locally deployed GEODE distribution.

A way is required to reference the relevant war files from a repository and not requiring the `GEODE_HOME` property to be specifically set.
