/**
 * This class serves as a base class for Booters which follow a pattern of
 * configure, discover files in a folder(s) using explicit folder / extensions
 * or a glob pattern and lastly identifying exported classes from such files and
 * performing an action on such files such as binding them.
 *
 * Any Booter extending this base class is expected to
 *
 * 1. Set the 'options' property to a object of ArtifactOptions type. (Each extending
 * class should provide defaults for the ArtifactOptions and use Object.assign to merge
 * the properties with user provided Options).
 * 2. Provide it's own logic for 'load' after calling 'await super.load()' to
 * actually boot the Artifact classes.
 *
 * Currently supports the following boot phases: configure, discover, load.
