Added a dark mode branding template
Added the quick connect extension to the installer
Added the history recorded storage extension to the installer
Added a Tomcat root url redirect to /guacmole from the root gucamole site instead of wholesale removal of the root site (its removal breaks the source install process of the version label file, which breaks the upgrader's awareness of the current verion, which breaks ongoing upgrades!)

Added a new re-runnable script to refresh TLS certs
Made the nginx tls installer re-runnable for the abilty to change IP and proxy name by re-running this script
TLS scripts are now saved to a new directory each time a refresh or name change script action is run so older certs are not overwritten
