Toolpack Multi system support

Toolpack installer now allows to have more than one setup being configured on the same host.

To enable this feature, the directory tree changed a little, here's what it looks like now:

 /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/service
 /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/2.3/apps
 /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/2.3/licenses
 /lib/tb/toolpack/setup/12358/2.3

Note: 12358 was added in the setup path.

Each setup is installed as a service of the Operating System, under the following name:

 tbtoolpack_${SystemId}  -> ie: tbtoolpack_12358

Each service instance can be managed individually using "tbtoolpack" command.

 tbtoolpack start 12358
 tbtoolpack stop 12390

Note: If no SystemId is given, the tbtoolpack will prompt the user to select one among the installed one.
