Basic LDS Scraper

This is a small utility that scrapes the LINZ Data Service and generates a "map" of what's available.

This doesn't actually scrape the data sets themselves though. Just the metadata.

In future, it should scrape all available pages... It's getting there...

At the moment, it has:

It'd be nice to have include the other metadata like description, last updated etc.

Gotta have the basic features down first.
