Metacat

[merge from branch to keep trunk up to date with upgrade history] prep for Metacat 2.1.1 release

clean-up and flesh-out the metacat-index docs. https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/5884

allow running the Harvester client without a source code checkout. (D. Blankman comments)

move harvest registration page to the default skin, not the KNB skin. update docs to indicate such. (based on comments by D. Blankman)

upgrade to Metacat 2.1.0 on the trunk. This includes a new index_event table for storing indexing events that need to be reprocessed. https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/5944

add note about metacat.properties backup. https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/3085

Use 2.0.7 version number in configuration/upgrade/docs (trunk, even though we will not be releasing 2.0.7 from trunk, we want to have the upgrade scripts included here)

Add a new class ApplicationController.

(generated image commit) add ObjectPathMap reference for an indication about how we might read the bytes of a science metadata file for generating the index events.
