@alopresto thanks for mentioning about the discussion of the NiFi landing
page, I wasn't aware of that.
Even if we changed to a silent redirect, I _think_ we still want most of
what is in this PR. What I mean is that this PR sets up the new WAR that
handles the "/" context and currently displays the index.html from
nifi-registry-web-errors WAR, which happens to be the landing page.
If we wanted to redirect instead, I think we'd just be changing how the
index.html worked at that point, maybe to something like index.jsp that called
redirect? But in either case we need something to handle the root context of
"/".
