Fix for bug #309 so that Metacat will now follow LDAP referrals. Previously the default was to ignore referrals. Now we explictly set the JNDI Context.REFERRAL value to the value in the metacat.propert "referral". The metacat.properties file has been modified to add the "referral" property, which can be set to one of: follow, ignore, throw. If set to follow, metacat will automatically resolve referrals. If set to ignore, metacat will ignore referrals, and if set to throw, a "ReferralException will be thrown. As metacat doesn't catch this exception, I can pretty much guarantee it wouldn't be good to use the 'throw' value.
