2764: Add wget-friendly Collections file page.
This new route will become the way you share authless Collection links
with others. They can pass it to `wget -r` to download the whole
collection, nicely organized, with nothing extraneous. Since it
doesn't try to load user information or look up related Arvados items,
it can be rendered using an API token with a very narrow scope.
Because wget respects robots.txt, this branch stops using that in
favor of the corresponding <meta> tag. The new view only limits
indexing, so wget can follow the links on the page.

Pushed in 22f1aef9, and then merged the branch with master. Like we discussed on IRC, I'm happy to provide a tree view of the files once the branch with that logic is merged (see #2753). Not sure if you want to take another look now or wait until that's done—either one is fine by me.

- Shrink the footer, it doesn't need to be a h2 with full size text
- Sample wget command should use long-form parameters for clarity
- Consider moving the wget section below the file tree instead of above it.

Both pushed.

I think we expect wget to the be the main way that people interact with this page. Because of that, I think having it at the top is useful to help ensure people see it. Otherwise, in a long collection, they may not scroll down far enough for the hint.
