[qgis-qwc2] Transitioning from QWC1 to QWC2

[Sandro Mani]

Hi

The idea with QWC2 is that you have a QGIS Server up and running which 
serves the projects you want to use as WMS, and then in 
themesConfig.json you specify the url to the WMS. The themesConfig.js 
script (invoked via yarn run themesconfig) will then query the QGIS 
Server and generate a themes.json file which contains all the infos QWC2 
needs to display a theme. So the location where you need to place the 
qgs files depends on your QGIS Server configuration, as far as QWC2 is 
concerned, what matters is that the project is served as WMS.

Hope this helps
Sandro
