Add customization hook to convert directory content to string

The path passed to CondDB::get cant point to a file (optionally with IOVs) or a directory.

If it points to a file, the returned string is the content of the file, but how to map a directory to a string is implementation specific. For example, in LHCb, directories have to be represented as XML files.

As a proof of concept, the current conversion is the LHCb one, but it must be customizable.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
