Make use of dataregistry when present and requested #637

Traditionally gcr-catalogs has used the collection of config files to determine which catalogs are available and how to read them. It should also be possible to register catalogs in the dataregistry, where "register" includes saving the content of the config files in the dataregistry database. Then users with access to the dataregistry would be able to use it to find and read catalogs.
