new OAI publishing registry

[Patrick Dowler]

Hi Registry!

A while back I reported that our old OAI publishing registry died a
horrible death and we were not able to recover it. With help (thnx Markus!)
I was able to get the content of the records from the STScI registry and
hack together a new - very spartan - endpoint that kind of implements
OAI-PMH.

The rofr.ivoa.net now has the URL to this new endpoint so other full
registries will be harvesting from it now. This is just a heads up to watch
out for any issues and let me know if something goes sideways. The
datestamps for records have not changed so if ivo://cadc.nrc.ca records
have not been removed due to our extended downtime there will be nothing to
see yet. A full harvest  should work out though.

PS-Planning to add the code to https://github.com/opencadc once I figure
out how to move the hard-coded hacks into configuration - this was really
quick & dirty :-)
