[Halld-offline] New git repository: hd_singularity

[Mark Ito]

Folks,

I created a new repository for the gluex team on GitHub: hd_singularity 
<https://github.com/JeffersonLab/hd_singularity>. Find the current 
contents of the README.md below.

It follows the same paradigm we have been using thus far: no GlueX 
software is installed in the container itself, but all 
distribution-supplied packages needed to build and run GlueX software 
are installed.

The idea is that any one of us can create container running any desired 
Linux distribution easily (at least almost any). One needs access to a 
system with Singularity installed and have the ability to log in as root 
to build the container.

It is really alpha software right now, but I wanted to get it out there 
sooner rather than later.
