This commit provides optional normalization of dot codes in Green Book documents, building upon gov.uspto.patent.doc.greenbook.DotCodes. Normalization is disabled by default, so changes are backward-compatible. It can be toggled at various points in the pipeline, including in PatentReader, providing a format-independent endpoint for dot codes and the upcoming normalization of "brace codes".
(My fork's master branch includes a handful of commits to reformat the code, organize imports, etc. I know these commits are tedious to review, but let me know if you're interested in merging such changes to clean the codebase.)
First PR for #59. (Happy #hacktoberfest!)
