As requested by a number of developers, I have reverted the DTD change
blocking <herd/> elements in order to provide additional transition
period.

The support for <herd/>, as well as herds.xml and herds.dtd, will be
removed no earlier than 2 weeks from now. Please use that time to
update metadata.xml in your repositories.

While at it, I've added three GLEP 67-related checks to gentoo-ci.
Therefore, the metadata.xml files in Gentoo repository and pull
requests will be periodically checked for the following problems:

1. <herd/> elements,

2. <maintainer/> elements with no type="" (invalid is already covered
by the DTD),

3. <maintainer type="project"/> referencing projects not
in projects.xml.
