enable geonode to publish standalone metadata documents #332

Problem

In vanilla Geonode, a metadata document is always linked to a dataset stored in the Geonode backend.

There are many use cases, including this project, where we want it to function more like a generic metadata clearinghouse. So, many metadata records will refer to remote services or offline data sets and have no local dataset.

Proposed solution

Remove the dependency of metadata records on a backend data store. i.e. Enhance Geonode functionality as a pure pyCSW front-end.

Handle any consequences this change has.
