First time setup script

[abhishak3]

Fixes #874

Technical details replaced all the commands used for first-time setup with a single "make init" command.

"make init" command is defined in the Makefile which executes a bash script "initial_setup.sh" with root privileges. The reason for running the script with root privileges is that the docker needs root privileges to run, otherwise it shows a "Permission denied" error. This error is user-specific and depends on the way docker is configured on their system.

@dmos62 I would like to know what should be the timeout limit for the script. For the first-time setup, it can take several minutes to hours depending on the system. So, should we even keep the timeout or completely remove it?

[dmos62]

@abhishak3 hm, I'm not very familiar with the container startup process, but I was under the impression that you don't actually need Django ready to serve requests to perform migrations and run the installation script.

Try it out without the timeout. If it turns out to be necessary, I'm guessing that a 60 second timeout is good enough for now.

[abhishak3]

@dmos62 I've made the requested changes. Please check 'em out.

Assigning this to @mathemancer since @dmos62 is out sick.

I think GitHub automatically requested a review from me for this PR because it modifies front end files within mathesar_ui. @abhishak3 Can you remove the changes to package-lock.json from this PR? That file gets changed sometimes by Docker when starting up, but we shouldn't put those changes in this PR.

removed changes to the package-lock.json from the PR.

@abhishak3 thanks for the contribution! I'm merging this in. I'll make a few changes to the blocking conditions in a separate PR. I'll post a link.
