Add open-source OCR tool to Archivematica
- Tesseract is the most actively developed; other open-source OCR is either moribund (Cuneiform, OCRopus) or released only sporadically without major improvements (OCRad, gOCR).
- The actively-developed options are:
  - Tesseract - Very actively developed. Best accuracy of all the open-source options, good speed.
  - OCRad - Moderate-to-poor accuracy, excellent speed.
  - gOCR - Poor accuracy, slow speed.
- Tesseract appears to be the best solution in most cases. If speed was paramount and mediocre or poor accuracy would be acceptable, there might be an argument to use OCRad.
