Implementation of the modified informationprovider

The information provider that will fill the entry:

GlueHostApplicationSoftwareRunTimeEnvironment
will work by regularly scanning the contents of a directory on the CE. The location of this directory is:
$EDG_LOCATION_VAR/info/
In this directory for each VO there is a directory named after the VO with a file that contains the information that the VO needs to publish. The names of these files are: <VOName>.ldif The vo name is in lowercase.

The access privileges to the VO subdirectories are :
world read access
write access only for the accounts which the ESMs are mapped to.

The file containing the static information will be written by the LCFGng object. The VO specific file will not be created to avoid loosing information.
The format of the files should be very simplistic (entries comma separated)
Checking of the naming convention should be done in the tools that are used by the end users.
For the list of commands, please refer to section 3.3.

Since these files contain important status information that can't be regenerated in an easy way at reinstallation by the local administrator these files have to be save before reinstalling a node.
