Debug DEBIAN test-api fail : write the intermediate zip file produced by 'compose()' into the temp dir

The zip file produced by 'compose()' will contain a another zip file (model.zip) including the component.bin and the compenent.swagger.yaml files. This mimics the current python client behavior, so that the compenent.swagger.yaml file can be uploaded without changes at Acumos on-boarding and Acumos Portal.
In the ‘push' function, if component.swagger.yaml exists it will be zipped along with component.bin into model.zip. And the request ’payload' is model.zip in this case.
In the 'push' function, if a model.zip file exists in the model bundle, it will be unzipped.

Set that when create==FALSE deploy cannot be set to TRUE.
Correct the 'push' function so that the swagger YAML file is uploaded as part of the bundle.
By default, set the bundle (component) file extension to '.zip' instead of '.amc'.

debug 'pkg.deps()': (i) a less R version dependant base packages listing, (ii) continue the while loop until the good order of package dependencies is found, (iii) correctly exclude base packages (remove versions and whitespaces in the while loop).
handle component variables to run without modifying '.GlobalEnv' (not allowed by the CRAN policies).
use of ‘thesthat': test that the API works after ’run()'.

with 'compose()', generate a new file, 'component.swagger.yaml', that describes the component API using swagger 2.0.
serve a swagger UI at the path '/' and the swagger YAML description file at the path '/swagger.yaml', using 'RestRserve'.
the API can now receive and send data with "application/vnd.google.protobuf" and "application/json" content types. The content-type must be precised, and is considered as "application/json" by default.

add 'composeFromSource()' and 'pushFromSource()' functions, enabling respectively to compose and to push a bundle from an R file (considered as the component source) in which all the functions and auxiliary objects needed to compose the bundle are defined.
change 'push()' to look up and include in the POST request a potential 'component.R' file contained in the bundle.

add 'create', 'license' and 'headers' parameters to 'push()'.
change the meaning of '...' in 'push()' to supply any additional elements for body of the 'POST' request. This allows optional parameters to be added to the onboarding service.

allow the ‘file’ argument in run() to be a directory containing the unpacked component.

added send.msg(..., response=TRUE) to allow more easy testing of REST-style pushes (internal interface only).
minor documentation updates such as mention of data_response run-time option.

update push() to take the bundle and upload in pieces until the server supports bundles.
include schema version in meta.json

add run(init.only=TRUE) option to setup the run-time environment without actually running the server
new runtime parameter data_response=TRUE enables direct passing of the output data to the caller. When set the POST request to the functions (like /predict) returns the result in the same request. If nto set (the default) it only retuns success/failure status.

add auth() function to obtain authentication token from Acumos.
add push(token=) to use token (obtained form auth()) for authentication purposes.

switch to using bundle model component files (.amc) instead of individual files (.json/.bin/.proto)
