Implement "panelmirror" app that maintains a local mirror of PanelApp panels

[holtgrewe]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We currently use the Genomics England PanelApp API for fetching gene panels. Such proxying comes at a price in terms of uptime reliability and loading time of the front-end.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a new Django ap "panelmirror" that allows to mirror gene panels, currently for GEL PanelApp gene panels only. Also, create Celery background tasks for regularly loading updates. We only need to provide DRF access to the data.

• app
• models
• DRF front-end
• client API
• celery background job
• management command

Describe alternatives you've considered

• integration of custom panel management instance might be something users need (history, tracking of publication evidence etc)
• testing and release of panels mostly need to be managed by a lab
• roi and coverage testing need to be computed and shown for individual panels
