Disable and remove scratchpads_col module

[PaulKiddle]

This is the module that powers the backend col data provider http://classifications.scratchpads.eu. For some reason it is enabled by default on all Scratchpads (dependency of scratchpads_tweaks), however there is no reason to include it. Trying to use the endpoint it provides throws an error, as no sites have the scratchpads_col_terms_ tables in their databases.

Todo:

• Create new branch & platform for classification.scratchpads.eu
• Migrate site to new platform
• Remove scratchpads_col from tweaks dependencies
• Add migration to uninstall scratchpads_col
• Remove scratchpads_col files

NB: Create a separate repo/branch/release for classifications.scratchpads.eu, as the only site that uses this module.

@PaulKiddle , this is an essential module in Scratchpads and it shouldn't be removed but fixed and updated. This module gives both new and existing Scratchpads the ability to import a Catalogue of Life classification and to use it as a taxonomic backbone for information aggregation. It is specially important for Scratchpads dealing with large numbers of names. Please, also contact the CoL+ team and proceed to add more annual versions of the CoL. The 2015 versions are way behind from current updates.

@Archilegt I believe you're talking about the client module scratchpads_classification_service_client, which allows scratchpads to import catalog of life data?
As opposed to scratchpads_col, which is the data provider module and I think is used only by the classifications.scratchpads.eu site, as we only need one data provider.

The former is definitely valuable and I agree should be updated. The latter I think can be removed safely from all standard scratchpads.

@PaulKiddle oki doki!
