metadata/indentifiers.json ? #30

One possible enhancement of the export plugin in the future would be to also include a "identifiers.json" file with all of the EPrints identifiers for objects/files

See: https://github.com/artefactual/archivematica-sampledata/blob/master/SampleTransfers/DemoTransferJSON/metadata/identifiers.json

I think the main advantage of this would be that unlike including these in the EPrints XML file, the identifiers listed in this file should be getting better indexing in Archivematica as a result; but this would need to be confirmed.

The metadata.json is now indexed properly in the METS file, (following this commit: https://github.com/eprintsug/EPrintsArchivematica/commit/0eafb4193cfca223a89f8b524c651abc52ba73dc ), meaning any AIP can be found in AM storage using the identifiers specified in the metadata.json file, by searching in "Transfer Metadata". Thus, so for example, the full URL (including the eprintID). This suggests that this enhancement of using an identifiers.json file as well may not be needed.
