…ctionality. Modified install_agent_vctl to be a wrapper. This allows isntall_agent_remote to return the agent uuid. Updated install_agent on VCP to include additional optional fileargs to account for all install_agent_remote options.
Updated decodestring to decodebytes in VCP _install_agent method

Description
There was a bug in VOLTTRON Central, preventing agents from being installed properly from the interface. This was caused by the updated install agent functionality removing the method called by VCP (VOLTTRON Central Platform). To fix, VCP now uses the same functionality that Control Services uses, with a client-server structure for installing the agent.
Fixes #2841
