Ability to manage folders from CLI in SAS 9

Related issue #73

On SAS 9, the most reliable way to do this is using the batch tools. This will necessitate the use of an SSH connection to SAS.

Additional variables will also be needed in the .env file:

• SSH_SERVER (to default to serverUrl)
• SSH_KEYFILE (to default to ~/.ssh/id_rsa)
• SSH_USER (to default to SAS_USERNAME)
• META_SERVER (to default to serverUrl)
• META_PORT (to default to 8561)
• SAS_TOOLS (to default to /opt/sas/sas9/SASHome/SASPlatformObjectFramework/9.4/tools)

The SAS_USERNAME & SAS_PASSWORD will have been captured from the sasjs auth command.

Running the sasjs folder delete command for a SAS9 target will result in the following:

1. Extract SAS_USERNAME and de-coded SAS_PASSWORD from .env.target file
2. Prepare script for SSH execution eg as follows:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd "$SAS_TOOLS"
./sas-delete-objects \\
  "$PATH_TO_DELETE" \\
  -host $META_SERVER -port $META_PORT \\
  -user '$SAS_USERNAME' -password "$SAS_PASSWORD" \\
  -deleteContents 2>&1

3. Execute the script (first making sure the batch tool exists) and fetch the log

There should be no trace of the de-coded SAS_PASSWORD on either the local or remote system.
