As an STT user, I need an accurate error report when I space-fill `COUNTY_FIPS_CODE`

[ADPennington]

Description: Provide a brief background and justification for this issue

When STTs submit records with space-filled value for COUNTY_FIPS_CODE, the following error appears in the logs:

   2024-06-05T14:04:48.89-0400 [APP/PROC/WEB/0] ERR 2024-06-05 18:04:48,898 DEBUG fields.py::parse_value:L45 :  Field: 'COUNTY_FIPS_CODE' at position: [19, 22) is empty.
   2024-06-05T14:04:48.89-0400 [APP/PROC/WEB/0] ERR 2024-06-05 18:04:48,898 ERROR parse.py::manager_parse_line:L370 :  'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lstrip'

The error report associated with files like this yield incomplete and incorrect error messages (see below). In particular,

• the report does not raise a cat 2 (out-of-range) error associated the COUNTY_FIPS_CODE
• the report raises cat 4 errors that are not correct (perhaps due to the fact that the T1 record with the space-filled county fips code is not parsed?)

STT users are unable to make corrections based on this feedback.
