Simple Installer for Unified Directory Structure, Initial Implementation (#1819)
* partially working simple installer

* works on linux

* fix linux requirements files

* read root environment variable in right place

* fix cat invokeai.init in test workflows

* fix classical cp error in test-invoke-pip.yml

* respect --root argument now

* untested bat installers added

* windows install.bat now working

fix logic to find frontend files

* rename simple_install to "installer"

1. simple_install => 'installer'
2. source and binary install directories are removed

* enable update scripts to update requirements

- Also pin requirements to known working commits.
- This may be a breaking change; exercise with caution
- No functional testing performed yet!

* update docs and installation requirements

NOTE: This may be a breaking commit! Due to the way the installer
works, I have to push to a public branch in order to do full end-to-end
testing.

- Updated installation docs, removing binary and source installers and
  substituting the "simple" unified installer.
- Pin requirements for the "http:" downloads to known working commits.
- Removed as much as possible the invoke-ai forks of others' repos.

* fix directory path for installer

* correct requirement/environment errors

* exclude zip files in .gitignore

* possible fix for dockerbuild

* ready for torture testing

- final Windows bat file tweaks
- copy environments-and-requirements to the runtime directory so that
  the `update.sh` script can run.

  This is not ideal, since we lose control over the
  requirements. Better for the update script to pull the proper
  updated requirements script from the repository.

* allow update.sh/update.bat to install arbitrary InvokeAI versions

- Can pass the zip file path to any InvokeAI release, branch, commit or tag,
  and the installer will try to install it.
- Updated documentation
- Added Linux Python install hints.

* use binary installer's :err_exit function

* user diffusers 0.10.0

* added logic for CPPFLAGS on mac

* improve windows install documentation

- added information on a couple of gotchas I experienced during
  windows installation, including DLL loading errors experienced
  when Visual Studio C++ Redistributable was not present.

* tagged to pull from 2.2.4-rc1

- also fix error of shell window closing immediately if suitable
  python not found

InvokeAI
Project homepage: https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI
Preparations:
You will need to install Python 3.9 or higher for this installer
to work. Instructions are given here:
https://invoke-ai.github.io/InvokeAI/installation/INSTALL_AUTOMATED/
Before you start the installer, please open up your system's command
line window (Terminal or Command) and type the commands:
python --version
If all is well, it will print "Python 3.X.X", where the version number
is at least 3.9.1
If this works, check the version of the Python package manager, pip:
pip --version
You should get a message that indicates that the pip package
installer was derived from Python 3.9 or 3.10. For example:
"pip 22.3.1 from /usr/bin/pip (python 3.9)"
Long Paths on Windows:
If you are on Windows, you will need to enable Windows Long Paths to
run InvokeAI successfully. If you're not sure what this is, you
almost certainly need to do this.
Simply double-click the "WinLongPathsEnabled.reg" file located in
this directory, and approve the Windows warnings. Note that you will
need to have admin privileges in order to do this.
Launching the installer:
Windows: double-click the 'install.bat' file (while keeping it inside
the InvokeAI-Installer folder).
Linux and Mac: Please open the terminal application and run
'./install.sh' (while keeping it inside the InvokeAI-Installer
folder).
The installer will create a directory named "invokeai" in the folder
of your choice. This directory contains everything you need to run
invokeai. Once InvokeAI is up and running, you may delete the
InvokeAI-Installer folder at your convenience.
