Senzing License as environment variable

The G2Engine accepts a base64 Senzing license representation in its JSON configuration string. It is the PIPELINE.LICENSESTRINGBASE64 value.

{
	"PIPELINE": {
		"CONFIGPATH": "/etc/opt/senzing",
		"LICENSESTRINGBASE64": "AQAAADgCAAAAAAAAU2...",
		"RESOURCEPATH": "/opt/senzing/g2/resources",
		"SUPPORTPATH": "/opt/senzing/data"
	},
	"SQL": {
                :
	}
}

This roadmap item is to enable components that utilize the Senzing Engine to accept the Base64 representation as an environment variable. Both in SENZING_ENGINE_CONFIGURATION_JSON at PIPELINE.LICENSESTRINGBASE64 and as an environment variable SENZING_LICENSE_BASE64_ENCODED for the simplified case.
