Feature/Conversion from `material_as_recorded` to `material` #10

The input CSV has two columns for support: material and material_as_recorded. The idea being that an authorized value (or values for MSS with mixed support media, like paper and parchment) would be used for material.

There are a number of tasks:

[x] ~~Determine whether the model makes this distinction.~~ It does!
[ ] ~~If yes,~~ Identify a vocabulary/authority for material and
[ ] Come up with a method to convert from material_as_recorded to material.

Potential controlled vocabularies for materials: Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT): https://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabularies/aat/ Thesaurus for Graphic Materials (TGM): https://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/tgm/

AAT, as a Getty vocabulary, has a reconciliation service already implemented through OpenRefine. TGM, as a Library of Congress vocabulary, does not (to my knowledge). So one would have to be scripted, I believe.
