Automatically publish ComTrade data after 3 years of no updates (DATA-2132)

The data pipeline from Comtrade to the FDW now accommodates possible delays among different countries, as some countries may take several years to submit all trade data due to infrastructure limitations. Data can be fetched more than once and compared to the data in the FDW in order to update it as appropriate. If the data has not been modified for 3 years, it will be published without the need for further checks of the data series. 

Data collection text boxes for metadata (DATA-2198)

The inline tabular display for data collections was improved to allow users to see the full text of important metadata columns.
