Future improvements

• make it possible to pass all fields available in wizard setup, even the database driver (see portal-impl properties file)

• make it works for many versions (currently only works on 7.3)
• add the option to create the database and the portal in a docker
• improve logging
• external bundle option -> use bundle located outside the workspace
  • validate liferay.workspace.home.dir inside gradle.properties file
• flag for reseting bundles folder
• implement testing
• fix args help text
• validate workspace folder (https://github.com/liferay/liferay-blade-cli/blob/feaeddf8251999c262e3004cc8675bc82eb09c7e/cli/src/main/java/com/liferay/blade/cli/gradle/GradleWorkspaceProvider.java#L250)
• generate executable
• use some commit name validator
• dynamically check if blade is in the latest version
• add 3 missing properties: company.default.name (default site name), default.admin.first.name and default.admin.last.name (default admin first and last name)
