Firebase Template

This is part of the firebase-template project, which consists of:

• firebase - firebase settings, including hosting settings and basic access rights, repo: dudko-dev/firebase-template
• firebase/functions - gRPC and http cloud functions, repo: dudko-dev/firebase-template-functions
• firebase/hosting/website - a web portal based on react, repo: dudko-dev/firebase-template-website
