flow: Closed <feature> 'output_sitemap'.

* the json marshaller cannot deal with circular data structures, and no automatic .String() conversion
* so we copy our crawl data slice into another slice which will be marshaled into json more easily
* made the page slice we use during crawling actually circular (as it should be) rather than putting duplicates in for each page discovered
* test for conversion to output data structure, and hacky cheater test for json output
* removed Base *Page from our Page struct as it's only needed temporarily
