Changes proposed in this PR

New workflow (based on ZWECONF for zowe v2) developed for simplified and optimized configuration of APIML.
This workflow has fewer steps than full zowe configuration workflow, but is still backward compatible with full zowe (in yaml).
All ports are set in single step, components are preset with aim to APIML best practices.

User has now 2 options, use either zowe configuration workflow (ZWECONF), or in aim for APIML this simplified workflow.

After discussion and agreement with APIML team, this APIML configuration workflow should go already to 2.x
