> KNOX-2226 added the new Home Page to Knox which is bound to the default context path in Jetty ({{/}}). However, this breaks the default topology feature: if a default topology is declared (by setting {{default.app.topology.name}} in {{gateway-site.xml}}) the homepage won't load.
>  Recommended solution:
>  # Add the Knox Home page like a regular Knox application rather than a generic web app in the Knox Jetty server with web.xml, etc. This will allow it to be deployed into topologies.
>  # Add a new topology (descriptor) called home.xml. This will allow for a gateway URL like [https://gateway-host:8443/gateway/home] - for anyone already familiar with Knox this would be pretty intuitive.
>  # The {{default.app.topology.name}} should default to '{{home'}}. So that, if no custom default topology declared, the home page will be accessible just like today. If someone sets {{default.app.topology.name}} in {{gateway-site.xml}}, the home page will be available under {{PROTOCOL://KNOX_HOST/GATEWAY_PATH/home}}
