libcove to libcove2 migration

[jpmckinney]

Starting to document the migration path to identify anything missing.

Since a lot is missing, maybe we can start by establishing what is NOT planned for libcove2 and should instead be the responsibility of individual CoVEs.

Usage notes are from OCDS and OC4IDS perspective.

Validation

libcove.lib.common	Question / Solution
common_checks_context	High priority: This is the most common API call
get_additional_codelist_values	Do any standards other than OCDS use codelists?
get_field_coverage
get_json_data_deprecated_fields	Do any standards other than OCDS use deprecated fields? (Called by common_checks_context, but OCDS only directly calls it in tests)
get_json_data_generic_paths	(Called by common_checks_context, but OCDS only directly calls it in tests)
get_json_data_missing_ids	Do any standards other than OCDS use id in objects? (Called by common_checks_context, but OCDS only directly calls it in tests)
get_schema_codelist_paths	Do any standards other than OCDS use codelists?
get_schema_validation_errors
get_spreadsheet_meta_data	Do any standards other than OCDS have spreadsheet metadata?
load_core_codelists	Do any standards other than OCDS use codelists?
schema_dict_fields_generator	Change to libcove2.common
SchemaJsonMixin
unique_ids	Do any standards other than OCDS use id in objects?
validator

Conversion

libcove.lib.converters	Question / Solution
convert_json
convert_spreadsheet

Utilities

libcove.lib	Solution
exceptions.CoveInputDataError	In principle, not needed as not raised by libcove2
tools.decimal_default	Check if actually needed in specific CoVE
tools.get_file_type	Check if actually needed in specific CoVE
tools.get_no_exception	Use item.get(key, fallback)
tools.ignore_errors	Write code correctly to avoid key errors, etc.
tools.to_list	Use x if isinstance(x, list) else [x]
tools.update_docs	OCDS specific

Thanks for this. (And similar issue in lib-cove-web-2)

I've started writing up pages on migration in both repo's docs, eg: https://libcove2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migration-from-lib-cove.html I will refer to this list and both flesh out the docs and add specific issues for more work over time.
