meraki is stuck loading an app if it can't find a platformatic.json file inside a service

[mcollina]

I think the service configuration should be loaded via the management API, not the file system.

But the management API is available only if the app is running.
Why the platformtic.json was missing @mcollina ? Maybe we should raise an error in this case if it's something that can actually happen? (well, we show an error in any case, probably).
@tonysnowboardunderthebridge it's possible we are actually raising an error on the async call but the UI keeps waiting?

inside the services/ directory, we support platformatic.<kind>.json too (old format).
