[Archivesspace_Users_Group] attaching digital objects to archival objects

[Dallas Pillen]

Hi Maureen,

Not sure if this is the best/most appropriate way to do this, but I worked
up a prototype for doing something similar to this that grabs an archival
object's JSON, creates a new digital object and stores its URI, and then
uses the update archival object endpoint (POST
/repositories/:repo_id/:archival_objects/:id) to repost the archival object
with the new instance. The script (that also has some probably irrelevant
stuff up top to search for an archival object by its refid) is here:
