Metacat

Updated MetacatRestClientTest so that the tests are actually calling fail()
when errors occur, and fixed all sixteen tests so that they run successfully
and can be run from any client (i.e., they don't depend on particular
documents being present in Metacat). The 'restfiles' directory can probably ...

Fixed bug in getNextRevision() where "error" documents were not being
detected properly before searching for the next identifier.

Added initial support for arbitrary string identifiers in metacat (referred to as a guid). The new identifier table is used to map arbitrary string identifiers to Metacat's current docid format (referred to as the localId). Added a new IdentifierManager class to manage this table, adding new mappings as objects are added to the system. Modified the MetacatTest service to utilize this mapping table to look up a localId from a guid. IdentiferManagerTest is working with these guids now, as is the MetacatTest service get() method, but other parts of the system are unaware of them (e.g., create, update, delete operations are unaware, and no mapping is created when new documents are created). As a consequence, the MetacatRestClientTest is not working (although it also had lots of hardcoded dependencies that need to be fixed as well).

Added copyright, license, and class documentation.

Modified table structure to change identifiers table (previously unused) to
represent a mapping between arbitrary string identifiers and metacat docids.
More information in https://trac.dataone.org/ticket/361. Modifications to
Oracle schemas were made but not tested.

Fixed typos in metacat documentation.

Removed version as not sure when this will be delivered, so be agnostic.

Adding new documentation section for Metacat design documents in Sphinx/ReStructured Text format. Build this documentation using the
provided Makefile, assuming that both Sphinx and PlantUML are installed and on the local executable path by running 'make plantuml html'....

Fix two issues: Remove State from 'Data Set Contact' section of confirmation form (part of #3922), and make sure when editing a document that email addresses are picked up appropriately (capitalization).

Modified ResourceHandler to change the GET url from /objects to /object to
match the DataONE method name.
