If a tag of "auto" is given, frontend-download gets the version from installed src

This will make downloading the matching front-end files easier when following the bare metal install instructions.

Not sure if the inventree version from the Python version file is enough to determine the correct frontend version. This version is the same for several commits on master until a version bump occurs. What do you mean @SchrodingersGat ?

Thanks for your comment @wolflu05

Context: My rewritten instructions say this:

Download Front End Files

A front end app runs in the user's browser page. Let's download the files for the app:

mkdir -p ~/src/src/backend/InvenTree/web/static
invoke frontend-download --tag=auto
invoke static

Let me check my thinking: Backend code is associated with a particular version, and there are releases of the compiled front end code on github. Even if there have been several commits to a particular version on the back end, as long as the version doesn't change, the front end files should still work.

I don't understand anything deeper than this. Clarifying comments welcome!
