/**
 * Initialize an application from an options object or
 * a set of JSON and JavaScript files.
 *
 * This function takes an optional argument that is either a string
 * or an object.
 *
 * If the argument is a string, then it sets the application root directory
 * based on the string value. Then it:
 *
 *  1. Creates DataSources from the `datasources.json` file in the application
 *   root directory.
 *
 *  2. Creates Models from the `models.json` file in the application
 *    root directory.
 *
 * If the argument is an object, then it looks for `model`, `dataSources`,
 * and `appRootDir` properties of the object.
 * If the object has no `appRootDir` property then it sets the current working
 * directory as the application root directory.
 * Then it:
 *
 * 1. Creates DataSources from the `options.dataSources` object.
 *
 * 2. Creates Models from the `options.models` object.
 *
 * In both cases, the function loads JavaScript files in the `/models` and
 * `/boot` subdirectories of the application root directory with `require()`.
 *
 *  **NOTE:** mixing `app.boot()` and `app.model(name, config)` in multiple
 *  files may result in models being **undefined** due to race conditions.
 *  To avoid this when using `app.boot()` make sure all models are passed
 *  as part of the `models` definition.
 *
 * Throws an error if the config object is not valid or if boot fails.
 *

 * **Model Definitions**
 *
 * The following is example JSON for two `Model` definitions:
 * "dealership" and "location".
 *
 * ```js
 * {
 *   "dealership": {
 *     // a reference, by name, to a dataSource definition
 *     "dataSource": "my-db",
 *     // the options passed to Model.extend(name, properties, options)
 *     "options": {
 *       "relations": {
 *         "cars": {
 *           "type": "hasMany",
 *           "model": "Car",
 *           "foreignKey": "dealerId"
 *         }
 *       }
 *     },
 *     // the properties passed to Model.extend(name, properties, options)
 *     "properties": {
 *       "id": {"id": true},
 *       "name": "String",
 *       "zip": "Number",
 *       "address": "String"
 *     }
 *   },
 *   "car": {
 *     "dataSource": "my-db"
 *     "properties": {
 *       "id": {
 *         "type": "String",
 *         "required": true,
 *         "id": true
 *       },
 *       "make": {
 *         "type": "String",
 *         "required": true
 *       },
 *       "model": {
 *         "type": "String",
 *         "required": true
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * @param app LoopBack application created by `loopback()`.
 * @options {String|Object} options Boot options; If String, this is
 * the application root directory; if object, has below properties.
 * @property {String} appRootDir Directory to use when loading JSON and
 * JavaScript files (optional).
 * Defaults to the current directory (`process.cwd()`).
 * @property {Object} models Object containing `Model` definitions (optional).
 * @property {Object} dataSources Object containing `DataSource`
 * definitions (optional).
 * @end
