[FEAT] Gitpod Script

[Palanikannan1437]

• Closes [TODO] Update gitpod Yaml #186

Issue in brief

Create an optimised Gitpod script for the project so that contributors and community builders can enjoy bam boom boom kapow 🤯!! speeds to setup and work on the codebase⚡️!

Suggested Fixes/Changes

• Added init tasks in .gitpod.yml and separated tasks so that pre-builds can be run efficiently
• Tasks that run during initialisation (init) for caching via pre-builds
  • Install Faunadb: Pulls fauna image from docker hub so that the results can be cached until next commit(pre-builds)
  • Init Next.js App: Install all npm packages for the Next.js app in the app directory
  • Init Strapi App: Install all npm packages for the Strapi app in the cms directory and build for production
• Tasks that run during runtime(command)
  • Init Strapi App: Starts the Stapi service
  • Start build: Starts the Next.js app once the Strapi app starts
• init tasks are performed asynchronously for max optimization and then the command tasks are awaited based on the init tasks
• Extracted the initialisation logic from the main build script into strapi.sh only for the gitpod-scripts for faster async loading!
• Extracted and modified necessary existing scripts into gitpod-scripts
• Fixed the bug of Next.js app starting before the Strapi service by awaiting for the Strapi port to start listening!
• Updated Readme for instructions on how to use pre-builds in Gitpod for their forked version!
• Committed updated package-lock.json for keeping this package-lock.json as a baseline for further development to avoid conflicts while initialising gitpod workspace

Demo

The magical dev-workflow with pre-builds on Gitpod enabled from a new contributor/community builder's perspective!

PS: These number of commits were made just in-order to test the immediate changes I make on Gitpod, I'll consider squashing them if needed, thank you😄

Looking good @Palanikannan1437 - can't wait to try this!

@Sing-Li and @Dnouv it'd be awesome if you could review this and see it in action ⚡️

Please let me know incase there are some changes to be made, thank you 😄

I am on it. I just noticed a bug in that the RC4Community database is not getting initialized. Maybe we can fix it by tweaking the startup shell script; I will take a look at the script.

Update:
The following is the error for every new workspace @Palanikannan1437

Waiting 30 seconds for container to get shipped...
Docker container needs extra startup time, please increase the $waittlist value in initFaunaOnce.sh
Process ended with health status of Container: starting

While building on Gitpod; it takes an unusually long time for the Fauna container to start. This results in an empty database, thus skipping the data initialization.

Thank you!

@Dnouv I've now fixed the script to dynamically increase the waittime by 5s until the container starts...with an upper limit of 60s, would be awesome if you could test it out now, thank you so much for the guidance! 😄
