The reactive microservice demo frontend

This service exposes a web user interface to run the reactive microservice demo. It lets the user invokes the different microservices using 3 different invocation patterns:

1. the browser is the client - and interacts directly with the vert.x event bus to invoke the other services
2. the browser uses an API gateway using REST - and the frontend (server) invokes the services in parallel, and sends the aggregted results to the browser.
3. the browser calls hello, calling ola... - the browser uses the event bus to invoke the first service of the chain. It gets the results as a reply.

The detailed instructions to run the Red Hat Reactive MSA demo, can be found at the following repository: https://github.com/redhat-reactive-msa/redhat-reactive-msa
