Image upload bug — ensure "java.awt.headless" is set in Tomcat

[nfreear]

We had reports of image upload problems in Spot-it missions, e.g. http://www.nquire-it.org/#/project/4751435/upload

Investigation revealed a 500 HTTP error here,

• http://www.nquire-it.org/api/project/4751435/spotit/data/files

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Handler processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sun.imageio.plugins.jpeg.JPEGImageReader
    org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.triggerAfterCompletionWithError(DispatcherServlet.java:1284)
