Support macOS installer via mac app instead of putting in disk image

Issue #84 closed
timothy perfitt created an issue

In MDS 1.3.1 and earlier, you must create a disk image of the macOS installer since that is required by Imagr (and to support putting on a web server). To make things easier, Imagr should be modified to support using the macos.app directly instead of requiring the installer to be nested inside of a dmg.

In the imagr config file, the type "startosinstall" has a key "url" that is a link to the dmg that contains a macOS installer. Imagr should be modified to see if that URL is a path to a .app folder and use that. For example:

"url":"file:///Volumes/MDS%20Resources/Deploy/macOS/Install%20macOS%20Mojave.app/" See the attached config.plist.

I do not think we need to do anything about a non-macos install since an os link is not required in that situation.
