Additional metadata columns of the same name in subject and specimen files silently fail #463

Describe the bug AdditionalMetaData columns can be added to both the subject and specimen inputs. If it happens that an additional column X is added to both subject and specimen, it will not be caught by the input validator. It will then appear to upload correctly, but uploading will halt at the joining tables step.

Solution Add a validation check to cover this
