Endpoints are now optionally retrieved at Kepler startup. One has to manually
enable this by setting the boolean autoDataSourcesUpdate variable in
lib/config.xml with a text editor.

Details:
with this enabled, on your first click on the Data tab in a given Kepler window
this happens:
- query registry for Data Sources
- rewrite the servicesList section in config.xml file
- update the EcoGridQueryServicesController, so that when you click on the
Sources button (on the data tab), you see a *current* list of services to
choose from.


 There are some things I want to improve on this including:
        - it should probably only make this call on a per Kepler basis, not a
per workflow window basis
        - the Sources panel needs to be redone, as Kepler website requests
        - I also have some ideas on changing the code to make it cleaner...
