Same drill as w/ the other 3 publishers, this time with Springer Nature

Filter column journalsdb == 1 for columns where I think a change should be made in journalsdb. To highlight a few of the bigger ones:

• Allerton Press: a bunch of titles (44) have Allerton Press as the publisher. Crossref has the same publisher for these. However, these titles are all housed with Springer. I don't see any subscription information on the websites for these titles other than "institutional subscription". We do have subscription prices for the few titles are checked under Allerton Press, but I'm not sure who you'd subscribe through (Springer or Allerton). Thoughts?
• Pleiades Publishing: marked a bunch of titles (127) to ask you about from Pleiades. They have on their website "Subscription is available from the distributor of the English-language journals, Springer Nature" - so for Unsub purposes, i think we want Springer Nature b/c that's how the subscription is done. Do you agree?
• As with the other publishers (Wiley, SAGE, TF) there's a number of society publishers that have Springer publish their journals
• There's 46 titles where publisher is null
• There's 2 titles copublished with Zhejiang University Press that I think should be changed to Springer

Ok all of these are done!

• I believe we should set the Allerton Press journals as Springer Nature, with the imprint as Allerton Press. I went ahead and did that. We're not using the imprint field right now, but we can use it in the future to show there is some kind of relationship there. But based on having to go to Springer to subscribe, and the journals being listed on Springer, I think the overall publisher should be Springer.
• I changed the Pleiades titles to Springer
• Everything else you recommended was changed and I adjusted the journalsdb status column to show that.

Thanks @caseydm for all the fixes !

There's still 3 ISSN's with null publisher's:

• https://api.journalsdb.org/journals/0303-9692
• https://api.journalsdb.org/journals/1124-1861
• https://api.journalsdb.org/journals/1774-6701

Can those be fixed to have Springer Nature for publisher?
