Changed GIN to run only on the site BDII and use it for info

To try to reduce the high load on the CE I've modified the RGMA-GIN setup so that instead of running the info provider directly on each node it reads the infomation out of the site-bdii (previously moved to heplnx202).

This involved editing /opt/glite/etc/rgma-gin/gin.conf

to change the line:

  run /opt/lcg/libexec/lcg-info-wrapper

to

  run /usr/sbin/rgma-gin-ldap

where /usr/sbin/rgma-gin-ldap

is the following script:

#!/bin/sh
ldapsearch -LLL -x -H ldap://site-bdii.pp.rl.ac.uk:2170 -b mds-vo-name=UKI-SOUTHGRID-RALPP,o=grid | perl -p -0777 -e 's/\n //sg'

I was then able to:

service rgma-gin stop
chkconfig rgma-gin off

on the CE and SE
