[csw-maintainers] Faster catalog generation

[Maciej (Matchek) Bliziński]

I spent some time yesterday working on the buildfarm[1], and managed
to remove one bottleneck and cut down the catalog generation time from
~80 minutes to ~32 minutes. The new (and current) bottleneck seems to
be what I described in [2]: mass unlinking and relinking of files.

There's also a new HTTP endpoint:
/rest/catalogs/([^/]+)/(sparc|i386)/(SunOS[^/]+)/for-generation/

(Prefix: http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/pkgdb/)

It's quite quick to return and returns all information necessary to
generate a catalog.
