From org version 9.5 org will not be distributed from Org ELPA but from
ELPA (see https://list.orgmode.org/87lfa7tc9v.fsf@gnu.org/t/). This commit makes
Spacemacs use/install org from ELPA.
Besides that, this commit removes some 'hack' that seemed to have no effect. As
org comes with Emacs `package-installed-p 'org` will always return t. Also
activating org via `configuration-layer//activate-package` seems to have no
effect.
Finally, the package is declared including a :min-version because appending only
`:location melpa` seems to have no effect (this can probably be considered a
bug).
I am almost certain that the information that was added when making org install
from Org ELPA is still relevant also for installing org from ELPA so I have just
adapted the version number from 0.104 to 0.300.
As the "org" archive has been removed, the `ert-deftest` for it can be removed
also.
* new variable configuration-layer-stable-elpa-archive
* add missing sub-directory "packages"
* update .lock file with above changes and bump to archive version 0.400
New variable configuration-layer-elpa-subdirectory set in .lock file.
Now users creating a branch based on develop or master won't reinstall
all the packages in a new elpa directory.
Use the official spacelpa ELPA repository.

ELPA repository configuration is now in a file called .lock at the root of the
git repository. Its goal is to setup the ELPA repositories for a given branch
and it should not be modified! The philosophy of Spacemacs is to never fork the
git repository and this lock file has been put in the repo on purpose.
Only the master branch will have a .lock file that points to spacelpa, the
develop branch won't use the stable ELPA repository and will continue to behave
like it always did.
BUT for testing purpose and until the first major version of Spacemacs that uses
the stable ELPA repo is released I push a .lock file to develop branch that
points to spacelpa.
I understand that some people can be annoyed by this so the variable
configuration-layer--elpa-archives can be overriden by putting a setq in your
dotfile in the user-init function like this:
(setq configuration-layer--elpa-archives
'(("melpa" . "melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "orgmode.org/elpa/")
("gnu" . "elpa.gnu.org/packages/")))
