Splitting off the CAPRA code

One thing we need to do before the 1.0 release is remove the CAPRA specific
stuff from the generic codebase and deployment available at master.

Conveniently,the CAPRA-specific stuff is in src/GeoNodePy/capra and
src/capra-client.  The only non-CAPRA specific things I can find in those
directories are the templates and default settings for the the new user
registration.

I propose that as an interim solution to this problem, we
 * Move the user registration code to src/GeoNodePy/geonode
 * Make a 'capra' branch on Github/geonode, leaving the capra-specific
directories in it
 * Remove the capra directories from 'master' and 'synth'

If there are no objections, I'll work on this this week.

In the longer term, it would probably make sense for there to be a
github/capra (or something) repository with its own GeoNode fork.  However,
I haven't spoken with anyone at the World Bank about how they want to manage
or brand their internal code, and I think there are a lot of open questions
about how we are going to technically manage contract work around GeoNode,
including work for CAPRA, and

Sebastian,

That is a good idea. I did some work towards that in my "deploy"
branch, specifically it contains the changes needed to run a site from
the geonode settings without relying on anything from the capra
folder. You may want to take a look at those commits:

Thanks, Ariel.  Will do.
