package installation in non-editable mode: pip install ./cli

[VukW]

The goal is to make medperf client installable from pypi. This PR is the first part that allows installing package not from repository

A few changes were implemented:

• Totally removed git branch check updates: as client installed in non-editable mode would not have any connections with source folder where it was installed from, it knows nothing about git branch.
• During deployment, local server places cert.crt, cert.key and mock_tokens/tokens.json to ~/.medperf_config/.local_server/ so detached medperf client can use it. NB: this change breaks the behavior for existing developers (as path to local server cert is already defined in user config). You should update local config's certificate path to ~/.medperf_config/.local_server/cert.crt.
• pip install -e ./cli replaced with pip install ./cli everywhere

BASE_DIR has no sense when client is installed in standard way (as it points somewhere to /your/path/to/python/env/lib/site-packages/)

Looks good! Although I think some discussion has to be made regarding the local server set up. Local servers are mainly for development/testing purposes, and having it packaged with the medperf client doesn't feel right.

At this point there's no easy way to set up a local server without having to go to the package folder and running the provided sh scripts. This doesn't feel like something every user needs to do and so it probably shouldn't get packaged with our installation.

This does require a lot of thinking and modifications to our resources, so it's no small decision to make. Let's have a chat soon about this!

Folks, I'm thinking. Do we need to pack local server to the pip package at all? I mean, it is used only for development purposes. What do you think if we leave it in a repo? so every developer who needs local server would have to check out repo.

TODO:

• return git update check
• fetch only current branch instead of all of them?
