Add "List all artifacts" to REST API

[brianmajor]

In order to list all artifacts across all repositories and projects, one currently has to iterate through each of those items with separate REST API calls:

get all projects (GET to /projects)
    for each project
        get all repositories (GET to /{project}/repository)
            for each repository
                get all artifacts (GET to /{project}/{repository}/artifacts)
                    add to list

This results in an unscalable number of calls.

A single REST API call to get all the artifacts in all repositories and projects.

This would be scalable because the complexity can be handled in the DB query.

In the meantime, I wonder if there is an alternate approach we could use to get the list of all images?

can you clarify the requirement in details? Like, you would like to have a api to list all the artifacts that belong to one specific project.

The use case is driven by users' need to discover what images are available to them in a given harbor instance. This would be across all projects (but authorization would be applied on a project-to-project basis I presume). We would like to use the harbor API to generate this list, present it to users, and then integrate the users' selection with other (non-harbor) APIs that use the images.
