* refactoring server for screens & page layout restructure

* Disable API calls, UI placeholders.

* buildPropsHierarchy is gone & screen has url

* Recent changes.

* router

* router

* updated git-ignore to reinclude server/utilities/builder

* modified cli - budi new create new file structure

* Fix uuid import.

* prettier fixes

* prettier fixes

* prettier fixes

* page/screen restructure.. broken tests

* all tests passing at last

* screen routing tests

* Working screen editor and preview.

* Render page previews to the screen.

* Key input lists to ensure new array references when updating styles.

* Ensure the iframe html and body fills the container.

* Save screens via the API.

* Get all save APIs almost working.

* Write pages.json to disk.

* Use correct API endpoint for saving styles.

* Differentiate between saving properties of screens and pages.

* Add required fields to default pages layouts.

* Add _css default property to newly created screens.
