Metacat

On a fresh installation of Metacat, the application.deployDir property value gets overwritten. This is undesirable for Docker deployments where the Metacat Admin UI is not used for configuration, but rather the metacat.properties file is pre-configured for deployment. Fix this. It looks to be happening in the PropertiesAdmin.configureProperties() method:

PropertyService.setPropertyNoPersist("application.deployDir",
                        SystemUtil.discoverDeployDir(request));

Look at the consequences of not calling discoverDeployDir() and perhaps remove this. Needs review.
