Maintain WCT-era links under the new website #45

The WCT-era links, especially for Targets and Collections, need to be supported by the new website. The WCT IDs are stored in W3ACT but are not yet exposed in the same way.

Some of these look rather complicated, e.g. https://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/target/28180500/collection/26312782/source/collection because the latter part of the URL is being used to store the context the target is being viewed in.

Others are complicated because the paging of other parameters: https://www.webarchive.org.uk/ukwa/collection/100757/page/1/source/collection

In practice, it should suffice to match the primary ID (discarding the remainder of the URL).

We should also review the main navigational URLs and provides mappings in the new site. e.g.

etc.

Current version of ukwa-ui does not provide pages for Targets. As the design settles down, I suggest we plan to augment the ukwa-ui app with a statically-generated site that covers Targets and Collections, and reduce ukwa-ui over time to just the dynamic search part.

We need a basic version of this for go-live - redirect rules to get you to roughly the right place. We can revisit this later.
