Use App instead of Sysimage?

[mtanneau]

It could be worth investigating whether an app would be more suitable than a sysimage in our case.

See PackageCompiler documentation:

• App: https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/stable/apps.html
• Sysimage: https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/stable/sysimages.html

From what I can tell they are pretty much the same, just that the app bundles in the julia executable itself as well. Thus I don't see the value if the plan is to just swap julia --sysimage=... sampler.jl seed_min seed_max for app seed_min seed_max.

I do see the value if we plan to distribute the app directly (i.e., not make an app as part of the SLURM pipeline but making OPFGenerator itself a command-line utility implemented in Julia)... though I'm not sure how that would work with solvers like Mosek that need a license.
