REVIEW-84: XCI-826 Deliver Globus Connect Server (GCS) v5.4 to XSEDE - Test Readiness Review

XSEDE has prepared Globus Connect Server Version 5.4 for production deployment.  This  test readiness reviews installs and configures GCS v5.4 to support XSEDE and verifies  the XSEDE specific installation and configuration instructions, confirm that the resulting Endpoints, Storage Gateways, and Collections will successfully transfer a small file, and that the resulting Collections are discoverable by XSEDE users.   It does not test all the functionality supported by GCS or available through the Globus Transfer service.
