No initial admin api key on initial setup #2

Right now you have to manually create the first admin key in mongo. Need an initialization function for first time setup.

[ ] Create an environment variable that can be added to the .env file, ROOT_KEY
[ ] Check that ROOT_KEY does not exist as an admin key. If it doesn't, create it.
[ ] If no ROOT_KEY is provided, throw an error

Throwing an error in the absence of this key isn't necessarily the best path forward but probably the most complete. Otherwise there are a lot of edge cases.

We will need to provide a meaningful error message if the variable is missing.
