Implement hot-fix to repo indexing

Adds a conda package that when uploaded to our channel, patches the repodata.

Fixes #53 (closed) and #56 (closed)

@andre.anjos now when indexing our channel, we need to call it with:

conda index /path/to/files/conda --patch-generator /path/to/files/conda/noarch/repodata-patches-20200729.10.37.04-0.conda

This is a stripped down version of code from conda-forge. When different patches are needed, it is a good idea to look at https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-repodata-patches-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/gen_patch_json.py to see how it is done.

For example, I removed the support for removal of packages. That needs to be added back later.

The server service is now ready for these packages and will use them in both the public and private stable channels if a repodata-patches-*.conda package exists in the noarch channel. Otherwise, channel indexing happens as before.

The wiki pages concerning these are now updated as well with copies of the scripts for channel indexing and conda defaults mirroring.

I don't think the private stable channel is necessary ...

Do you want me to remove the private channel support or is it OK to leave it there?

PS: The patch above also fixes #56 (closed) and will avoid repodata-patches-*.conda packages reach our beta channels.

no remove it please as I don't see how that can work with this setup.

Done and wiki updated.

Thank you. Should I merge this?
