Corda Behave framework updates to decouple from Network Services (#914)
* Added new 'eventHorizonDays' configuration item.

* Added custom authenticator to provide ARTIFACTORY credentials upon resolving protected internal URL.

* Re-pointed functional test scenarios to point to Enterprise master.

* Enterprise corda network scenarios to use NetworkBootstrapper tool (instead of Doorman/NMS) since decision made by Product Management to split out Doorman/NMS from Enterprise.

* Configuration parameter changed to 'runMigration' since DP3.

* Fixed problem with logger upon startup.

* General improvements and additions to setup and execution scripts (eg. SIMM valuation demo now consists of 3 separate jars)

* Updates to decouple from Network Services.

* Download all JARs from artifactory for a given published distribution.

* Add TODOs for Doorman/NMS rework.

* Addressing TL PR review comments.

* Additional instructions for setting up the environment and running QA tests.

* Fixed repository URL references.

# Introduction
This project illustrates how one can use Cucumber / BDD to drive
and test homogeneous and heterogeneous Corda networks on a local
machine. The framework has built-in support for Dockerised node
dependencies so that you easily can spin up a Corda node locally
that, for instance, uses a 3rd party database provider such as
Postgres.
# Structure
The project is split into three pieces:
* **Testing Library** (main) - This library contains auxiliary
functions that help in configuring and bootstrapping Corda
networks on a local machine. The purpose of the library is to
aid in black-box testing and automation.
* **Unit Tests** (test) - These are various tests for the
library described above. Note that there's only limited
coverage for now.
* **BDD Framework** (scenario) - This module shows how to use
BDD-style frameworks to control the testing of Corda networks;
more specifically, using [Cucumber](cucumber.io).
# Setup
To get started, please follow the instructions below:
* Go up to the root directory and build the capsule JAR.
```bash
$ cd ../../
$ ./gradlew install
```
* Come back to this folder and run:
```bash
$ cd experimental/behave
$ ./prepare.sh
```
This script will download necessary database drivers and set up
the dependencies directory with copies of the Corda fat-JAR and
the network bootstrapping tool.
# Selective Runs
If you only want to run tests of a specific tag, you can append
the following parameter to the Gradle command:
```bash
$ ../../gradlew scenario -Ptags="@cash"
# or
$ ../../gradlew scenario -Ptags="@cash,@logging"
```
# Environment variables and system properties
The following environment variables must be set to enable access to the internal R3 Artifactory repository hosting Enterprise distributions:
https://ci-artifactory.corda.r3cev.com/artifactory/r3-corda-releases
```bash
CORDA_ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME
CORDA_ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD
```
The following system properties may be passed to the Cucumber and ScenarioRunner run-time processes:
* `STAGING_ROOT` to specify the filesystem location of the Corda distributions to be used (as setup by the prepare.sh script)
```bash
e.g. -DSTAGING_ROOT=$HOME/staging
```
* `USE_NETWORK_SERVICES` specifies to use the Doorman/NMS service to perform setup of an Enterprise network.
By default both OS and Enterprise scenarios will use the [Network Bootstrapper utility](https://docs.corda.net/head/setting-up-a-corda-network.html#bootstrapping-the-network) to create a Corda network.
```bash
e.g. -DUSE_NETWORK_SERVICES
```
* `DISABLE_CLEANUP` to prevent clean-up of runtime directories after successfully running tests.
```bash
e.g. -DDISABLE_CLEANUP
```
