Rather than extracting and calculating the size of each pax.Z file (which takes a long time), it reads the metadata.json asset information instead *Note: I've decided to skip older releases that do not contain a metadata.json file.
This PR also generates an additional latest json with suffix: _latest.json which only captures the latest releases. This can optimize certain queries in zopen that only examine the latest releases.
