Feature #6600: Catalogs should not reference files by URL

Catalogs currently reference files by URL, and these files are often on a 
remote, central server.  This causes a bunch of issues:

* If the catalog is not updated but the remote files are, then there can be 
configuration inconsistencies
* The clients always need to be able to talk to the server
* The client/server conversation is longer and more complicated than it needs 
to be
* The client will talk to the server every time a catalog is applied, even if 
nothing has changed.

Instead, the file URLs should be expanded on the server, so that the file 
owner, mode, group, and content are all specified directly.  Then at worst the 
client has to retrieve the content form the server, and even then only on a 
content difference.
