Changelog:
- introduce two separate roles for middleware deployments:
    - ui-middleware: read from redis only, listen to version updates, can easily be scaled
    - updater: split out all code that writes to redis, no need to scale > 1

- Unit and Integration tests now use "inject" instead of starting a server
  and using supertest.
- Add Coverage Reports and "test:dev" mode. This enables a mocha --watch
  like workflow using nodemon, as --watch does not work with esm modules.
- Reorganized and renamed files and functions

Set cache control to no-store. The ui-middleware will then only look at the remote servers for the files and never in the local cache

Root cause: configuration was only reloaded on those nodes, that did the version update. The other nodes might not notice that.
Solution: On propagated version changes, the nodes always check for config changes

the file cache is populated with data defined in the manifest files configured for
all components and will basically fetch everything from all components. This allows
us to use this manifest service as the only source of truth for UI related sources and
simplifies ingres setup a lot.

since it's still kind of small, it makes sense to switch to ESM, now.
