Use a production-ready server for serving Flask apps #3

Currently, the default development server werkzeug is being used to server Flask app. This server is not recommended to be used in production. We should consider providing solution based on either uWSGI or gunicorn or (?) for running the MedCAT service in production.

In the devel branch two scripts were added:

start-service-dev.sh - starts the medcat service in development mode (and using werkzeug server),
start-service-prod.sh - starts the medcat in 'production' mode using gunicorn server. By default, when running from docker image the prod version of the script will be run.
