Look into updating the SMART servers to make them compatible with rdflib 3.2.2 and rdfextras 0.2

Alternatively, we could replace the sudo easy_install -U "rdflib>=3.0.0" rdfextras step in our install guide with sudo easy_install -U "rdflib==3.1.0" "rdfextras==0.1" to force the older versions of the libraries.

The immediate todo should be an update to our install instructions fixing
the version in place, as you suggest. In the dev branch let's move forward
on compatibility with the latest rdflib.

There is currently an outage at GitHUB that affects our repositories preventing me from pushing in the README.md commit ("ERROR: Storage server temporarily offline. See http://status.github.com for GitHub system status."). Once the service gets restored, I will take care of it.

I did some additional testing of rdflib and rdfextras to get a better idea of the issue that we are dealing with. As it turns out the latest version of rdflib that can be used safely is 3.2.0. Version 3.2.1 introduces a threading issue (described in smart-classic/smart_common#1). Version 3.2.2 seems to fix the threading issue from 3.2.1 but introduces a critical bug (see RDFLib/rdflib#234). rdfextras 0.2 requires rdflib 3.2.1 or higher, so we cannot use it and should stick to 0.1.

So for now, let's stick to rdflib 3.2.0 and rdfextras 0.1 as specified in our current install guide:
smart-classic/smart-docs-v05@8cf9f6d

I will keep an eye at the rdflib progress towards fixing these problems.

rdflib 3.2.3 fixes the issue and is safe for use with SMART
