VOL-2292: Create application for scale testing of BAL

- Base framework created and is functional
- Able to provision ATT techprofile with scheduler, queue and eapol
  flow creation.
- Extensible framework provided to add various operator workflows
- README has details about how to build, run, configure and extend
  the framework.
