Problem/Motivation

The engine for Google is now failing with a 404 as the service has been discontinued from 8 Jan 24 - see
https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2023/06/sitemaps-lastmod-ping

Steps to reproduce

submission fails and is noted in log

Proposed resolution

write sitemap to disk so can use other methods to submit
Ref: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/bui...

Note: Google says robots.txt method only needs a line added:
Sitemap: https://example.com/sitemap.xml
This module will generate a fresh site map at this URI.
