Create development and test environment and update all docs after Sigma2 (NIRD) migration

[steinmb]

Migrating to NIRD (issue #341 ) and a new infrastructure mean that we loose the staging system we now have. beta and test.elmcip.net is now gone. We also loose the ability to grab production snapshots and populate local installation, example on own laptop. This cause a challenge further development and the ability to test new functionality and verify squashed bugs.

Scope of issue

• [x] Enable local development by allowing us to sync files and database with production.
• [x] Create a system where we can stage master and other branches on test instances.
• [ ] Update all project documentation to reflect changes.

This allow us to do sync local env with production. We can then run: bin/offline_reset2production and test production as normal. https://github.com/elmcip/elmcip/blob/master/doc/reset.md is still not updated though.

• @elmcip and @hannahackermans : https://test.elmcip.net have been moved back to Sigma2. Every 5'th minute the system checks the master branch. Any updates and the test site gets automagically upgraded.
• 4am, full teardown and site re-built from production and then upgraded.
• https://test.elmcip.net is password protected to stop pesky search engines from indexing.
