Implement Django version of the app launcher

Duggan, John requested to merge 40-implement-django-version-of-the-app-launcher into dev

Summary of Changes

This is a complete reimplementation of the app launcher using Django & Vue.js.

In development mode, all requests are routed through Django. It handles API requests directly, and proxies client requests to a Vite development server.

In production mode, nginx is used to send requests to their appropriate resources. API requests are proxied to gunicorn, which runs an ASGI Django server with multiple workers. Client requests are handled directly in nginx, which serves static files produced by a production Vite build of the front-end code.
