#2357 - Allowed the config to not have nodes, links and agents and still be parsed
Related work items: #2357
- Enhance NicObservation for detailed NMNE event monitoring.
- Add nmne_config options to simulation settings for customizable NMNE capturing.
- Update documentation and tests for new NMNE features and simulation config.
## Summary
- Made the data manipulation red agent be able to choose between the two clients to start operating on
- changed the attacker name in the config to 'data_manipulation_attacker' to because it is no longer tied to any client
- Updated the documentation notebook accordingly.
- Fixed a bug where the database client made a new connection every time it sent a SQL query (it tries to reuse its most recent one instead)
- Fixed a bug where link loads were not being cleared between episodes (?)
**warning** - the green agents are not working properly after reset right now, but I'm gonna fix this in the next ticket where I refactor episode reset.
## Test process
- unit tests pass
- UC2 notebook passes with both clients. (currently this doesn't work after an episode reset, but the very next thing I'm gonna work on is refactoring the reset, so I don't want to waste time fixing this.)

## Summary
- Added ability to set DoSBot in nodes via config file
- Fixed missing configuration items in other services/applications
- Created a variable which contains the list of applications and services
- Moved `DatabaseClient` from list of services to list of applications
## Test process
Created a configuration file where a node has all services and applications installed, this is then used by an integration test which loads the configuration file. The test checks to make sure that the configuration file is correctly read and the Service and Application objects are properly created
