Keep React Frontend app and BFF app communication in sync

[Torgeir333]

A common problem in software development is lack of clarity at the interface between systems.

In our case we have a BFF app running as a Backend-for-Frontend
to serve API calls from the React frontend app.

It is important that the interface between frontend and BFF is clear to all
interested parties. Also see issue #7 and issue #8.

Today, 29.09.23, the two apps are now running and communicating,
see README documentation in sub-repos and main repo.

We intend to keep the two apps in sync, to avoid future problems.

The 4th of October Simen and Torgeir had a long meeting on the topic of API calls, and how to keep Swagger documentation, Issue-documentation (#8 ), and Wiki-documentation in sync.

The meeting also resulted in a drastic simplification of the userInfo API call, and the deprecation of the fetchReporteeInfo API call (see issue #8 ).

09.10.23 Update: Dotnet app being rebuilt for Cookie use, so React frontend app is now being accessed directly. See repo wiki for update and direct links.

02.11.23 update: Simen has added a new endpoint for software system vendors that will be used to populate the pull-down menu in the CreationPage (see issue #94 )

The new endpoint is available in both Swagger and in issue #8.

09.11.23 The pull-down API now works. Possibly the DTO should be modified to include an "empty" first object,
so that the pull-down menu is pre-selected with "nothing" (or, not pre-selected with a firm's software).

[Torgeir333]

The frontend repo README is lagging in its quality. The How-to-use information should be updated in light
of the new processes added since the last update (see Repo Wiki, which is updated more easily and more frequently).

[Torgeir333]

The cleanup after the new designs of 24.11.23 broke a lot of API,
is now mostly done (and some APIs simplified) both in BFF and Frontend.
