This is a long overdue fix that makes the address of the API server configurable without touching Config.js.
The app only uses REACT_APP_BRIGADE_API_ADDRESS when the development server is running.
REACT_APP_BRIGADE_API_ADDRESS is not defined at build time (e.g. in the Dockerfile), so the address of the API server falls back to window.location.origin + "/api" (i.e. a reverse proxy for the API server, whose address is install-time configurable).
