Initialize navbar and defaultCatalog for static sites

[jrchudy]

For static sites to use the chaise navbar, currently a chaise-config.js needs to be defined with all of the navbar related configuration properties OR a chaise-config.js with a defaultCatalog to fetch a chaise-config annotation from the catalog object.

When chaise-config.js is not defined, or the value for defaultCatalog is not defined properly, the navbar appears to be broken on static pages. This isn't an issue for chaise apps since chaise requires the catalog information to be present in the page url.

Some ways we can try to resolve this defaultCatalog when it is not defined or chaise-config.js is not defined:

• query the ermrest:registry in catalog 0 (can be queried as anonymous on dev.derivacloud
  • is it generally a good idea to let anonymous users query this table?
  • pick the first created catalog?
  • maybe add a column to ermrest:registry that signifies the "default catalog"?
• pick a default catalog value to use in chaise
  • should we use catalog "1" as the default value for defaultCatalog?
  • or using catalog "0" and suggest having a chaise-config annotation defined for that catalog when setting up the server?
