The Despatches site now has a full archive backup

Minutes: 85

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.
