Near minutely raw data movement

Raw observation data is being put both in jcmt database & CADC staging area not much later when it arrives.

A new program[0] endlessly checks (currently) about every minute to see if there are any observations to process. If there are, the database is fed, followed by symbolic link creations for CADC's consumption. This should help avoid massive data transfers to CADC twice a day. Note that previously involved programs will keep running concurrently until everybody involved is satisfied that raw data is being entered and/or moved as desired.

All this started yesterday slightly wet, cloudy Hawaiian evening.

[0] enterdata-cadc-copy.pl is a wrapper around JSA::EnterData & JSA::CADC_Copy modules, which were respectively generated from jcmtenterdata.pl & cadcopy.pl.
