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.

+// Package mapstructure exposes functionality to convert an arbitrary
+// map[string]interface{} into a native Go structure.
+//
+// The Go structure can be arbitrarily complex, containing slices,
+// other structs, etc. and the decoder will properly decode nested
+// maps and so on into the proper structures in the native Go struct.
+// See the examples to see what the decoder is capable of.
