Scheme Registry file format changed

I've been meaning to do this for a while. Since the data files don't yet
have any consumers (apart from the script that turns them into the
Registry web page) now seemed like a good time.

Upgrade the syntax used in data files
- Drop the flat line-oriented format, which never made any sense for
this application. Instead, group each record as its own top-level
S-expression and encode the record fields as nested lists.
- Use strings instead of symbols for IDs (in preparation for POSE).
I checked using `diff` that generate.scm outputs an index.html
identical to the old one.
