Update facility data OAI-PMH metadata to record information as items
Motivation: The current OAI-PMH information is recorded as `datasets`. However, this assumes that the items underlying the harvested OAI-PMH records correspond to datasets. This is not guaranteed, and there are counter-examples. OAI-PMH describes three concepts: resource, item and record. The OAI-PMH responses provide records (descriptive metadata of some item) or identifiers thereof. However, since OAI-PMH requires repositories to support Dublin Core records, it seems a reasonable assumption for there to be a 1:1 relationship between each Dublin Core record and some corresponding item. Therefore, we can use the metadata-agnostic `item` concept when describing the information about the endpoint. Modification: Update script to record information under `items` node in the facilities YAML file. Update the Jekyll to consume this information when rendering the corresponding HTML. Result: No observable change, but the facilities YAML file now uses the more neutral 'items' instead of 'datasets'.
