cleaned up to use for populating a DataONE MN using the D1 api. Retrieves packages from a Metacat and generates system metadata for them before calling MN.create() for both data and metadata. NOTE: you need a client certificate that the target server accepts (either DataONE-generated for testing or a CILogon one for more official use). I was only able to get the former certificate type to work with our existing MN servers
