The communities & collections list, on the home and "Communties & Collections" pages, is very slow to load (frequently longer than 10 seconds, which triggers Nagios warnings). This is due to the massive amount of DRI XML generated in building the page: by default, DSpace includes a full METS record for *every* community and collection in the list.

We can configure DSpace to produce a minimal set of metadata for each community/collection but this breaks the expander / collapser tree used in the community list.

For now, adjust config to render minimal metadata in building community/collection list DRI, and remove non-functional expander/collapser list JS & CSS.
