[Enhancement] Add Gradle support for building the platform with equivalent of -DadminChassisOnly (Document)

Please describe the new behavior that that will improve Egeria

The egeria.git Maven build has a profile called -DadminChassisOnly that builds the OMAG Server platform so that the registered services are optional. The platform only loads the services it finds in the classpath.

This option is used for creating cut-down platforms for specific deployment environments.

Alternatives

The Maven build is retained to continue to provide this option.

Any Further Information?

Thanks for spotting. this should be added as part of the v4 (or earlier). Should be simple to add equiv function

[planetf1]

Implemented, to invoke:

./gradlew build -PadminChassisOnly

-P defines a property in gradle . There are no specific profiles, but being a programming language it's easy to add code.

We could source the option from another place, but this seems the most conventional

See PR for details
