Changes in Swarm Cluster Services (SCS) 1.0

This release the following improvements:

• Simplified Cluster Configuration: A centralized API is used for the cluster configuration. The API eliminates the need to maintain multiple files at the cluster and node levels.

• Improved Command-Line Interface: A simplified command-line interface allows for easier Swarm administration. See https://perifery.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/public/pages/1223491694/Swarm+Cluster+Services+(SCS)+CLI+Commands?search_id=b30a249c-f80a-43bc-acdf-99929e1a1533.
