The Despatches site now has a full archive backup

Following the outage at the weekend, that caused some
worry about the resilience of resources living on CephFS, and
after consideration of our own Endings recommendations, I
have started a more thorough process of creating portable and
complete archives of static edition releases. Following the
(much smaller) example I created yesterday with MyNDIR,
I have added a makeArchive target to the Despatches
build file; running it retrieves the current live release,
rewrites pointers to images (which are full hard-coded links
in the actual release, to handle the fact that old editions
are archived in a subfolder), and then creates a single
zip file suitable for archiving. This is now backed up.
