SkipClient generating webapp files

[minplaal]

Overview of the issue

When generating with JHipster 8.0.0-rc1 an application with SkipClient setting enabled, it generates webapp files and should not.

Motivation for or Use Case

Generating server only projects was supported in previous JHipster versions and is expected to be supported with new versions.
