Description
As discussed in https://github.com/MIT-LCP/physionet-build/pull/1697, we plan to deprecate the database-list API on PhysioNet, in favour of a new API served from: /api/v1/. If/when https://physionet.org/rest/database-list/ is deprecated, the following function will break:
When PhysioNet releases its new API (most likely at https://physionet.org/api/v1/), we should migrate the get_dbs to the new API (or perhaps deprecate get_dbs() and replace this with a new function).

Research direction
Read the deprecation discussion in physionet-build#1697 and inspect wfdb/io/download.py at lines 181-212, where get_dbs uses the database-list endpoint. Check the replacement API at /api/v1/ when available and determine whether get_dbs should migrate or be replaced. Done means the database-list dependency is removed and the resulting API behavior is covered.
