JSTOR exception should be added, possibly as a generic plugin #2

Closed nflorin closed 3 years ago

The original spec for the Validator included the option for failing a record if the title also exists in JSTOR. There is a list of JSTOR ISSNs included in the data folder for this purpose, but the option itself is not set.

This option could be an opportunity to add a generic fail option. Rather than fail only against JSTOR titles, we could have a list of inputs that will cause a record to fail if they match a user-selected field.

I'm not going to add the JSTOR option as a generic option, but rather will add it as a specific one, by default turned off. Adding a JSTOR option tied to a single data point (ISSNs) is much easier than adding a generic option. The generic option will have to be part of a larger revision.

Added title_in_jstor failure option, turned off by default.
