Added option to ignore robots.txt #97

Added option to bypass robots.txt file, so that the tool can be used to team servers, where all urls are disallowed by robots.txt file.

Hello,

Nice contribution, thanks! But what do you mean by “be used to team servers”?

Gayoushie commented 7 years ago

Hi. While trying to use the A11yMachine we came across this problem... we have a production site, on which it worked perfectly, but we wanted to test our other servers (which we call team servers): dev, QA, stage, etc. Our site goes through different stages before it can go live, and we would like to test for accessibility before things go to production. And all our servers, except for production, have robots.txt with all pages disallowed. I think this is a common practice with many companies.

Hope I clarified your question.

Thanks, Gayane
