Migrate I-D dependency tool to the tools servers

This is three tasks:

1. Maintain the database of dependencies between documents.

2. Generate the graphs.

3. Front end for queries.

These all exist at www.fenron.net now, but should change to a form that can be used on the tools servers.

Some more detail about what's at fenron:

Support infrastructure:

• rfcref
  This is a perl script that reads an I-D or RFC, looking for things that it thinks are references.

• Draftdep.pm
  This is a Class::DBI::mysql database access script.

Database maintenance:

• updatemysql
  This iterates over every I-D and RFC in a local repository and updates the dependency database.

Generate the graphs:

• db2dot
  perl script that filters a scary sql query result and outputs a dot file

• addcolor
  gvpr script that adds colors to the output of db2dot, perhaps because db2dot itself was too scary to change

• remove-informative
  gvpr script that removes informative references

• doemallmysql
  This is a script that puts the above scripts together to generate the .dot, .ps, .pdf, .svg outputs.

Front end for queries:

• deps/index.cgi
  This uses the Draftdep.pm interface to the dependency data, plus Bill's private IETF and Tracker mirror databases
  (maintained by, e.g., fetching all_id.txt and rfc-index and etc., not at all looking at the real database).

It would obviously be best to rewrite the front end to use the real tracker database to fetch dependency info.

This should be facilitated by some recent enhancement to the code in ietf/utils/draft.py, which extracts and provides lists of referenced drafts and RFCs. This is not directly the dependencies of a document, but can maybe be enhanced to provide this information.
