Consolidate the ports images on cdimage.ubuntu.com
Currently, each flavour has a ports/ directory, separating some architectures from others. This is sometimes confusing to users looking to test various images, and sometimes confusing to administrators looking to add or remove various images. Flavour coordinators often forget for which architectures their images are built, leading to gaps in ISO verification.
Consolidation of the /ports/ directories into the regular flavour directories would help provide a more accurate overview of the images made available for each flavour.
Mirror administrators are already expected to identify which architectures they prefer, so there should be little impact.

Work items:
[cjwatson] Migrate cdimage to the above discussed directory structure: DONE
[cjwatson] Fixing the release publication scripts, as there are some not only in cdimage, but scripts related to publishing to do with the iso tracker tools: DONE
[persia] Review the ubumirror defaults, and make sure they comply with the new policy. Other to be examined are testdrive, and ubuntu-qa-tools: TODO
[persia] Need to talk to mirroring people, to make sure that the private mirroring scripts won't blow: TODO
[cjwatson] Put redirects on cdimage, to point the old ports directories to the new locations: DONE
[persia] Make sure the spec indicates releases.ubuntu.com is unaffected by these changes: TODO
