Setup/Install process falls into a loop if anything goes wrong

While attempting to set up two new installs for the StorWize v5030 units, the data collector script would fall into a loop just after the download of data collector software resulting in starting over again.

    We have incorporated a "back" button to navigate to previous panels during the setup/install process, in case the user is not transitioned to the main GUI automatically after downloading a data collector. This should avoid an entire restart of the process.
