Download project as ZIP in admin/projects

[AidanCaruso]

Summary

Adds a download project button to the admin/projects. Getting project directories on the file server recursively is done through an extension to the get function of the file-browser feathers service. This adds the JSZip package for zipping the returned URLs and the save-as package as a convenience for downloading.

As a side note, testing with the putt club project, zipping takes roughly 15 seconds on my computer after pressing the download button. It might be worthwhile to add an indicator while this is happening.

This is recursively downloading every file in the project before zipping. This is going to result in many unnecessary feathers calls and we miss out on compressing network traffic. The project should be zipped serverside and then returned to the client with one feathers call

Just to make sure I understand correctly, this would require creating a separate specific feathers service that creates a zip from the project's directories and rather than passing every directory to the client we just pass the zip file.

Yes.

We should differentiate between download and update icons

Thinking about this a bit more, we should NOT be putting the zip inside the project folder, as this will likely propagate into git repositories, which will also slow pushing/pulling a lot. Let's put it in a ~/temp directory in the storage provider and we can periodically clean it up.

I agree, I can't believe I overlooked this. I am now dropping them into a directory labeled /temp.
