journals.json is inconsistent as to whether abbreviations are dotted #241

For example, "The journal of chemical physics" maps to "J Chem Phys" whereas "The Journal of Geometric Analysis" is "J. Geom. Anal." -- and autogenerated names also get final dots. So after aj, the rendered bibliography can get the same inconsistency. My guess is that you should just fix journals.json by checking for each word whether it was an abbreviation of a word in the journal title and, if so, forcefully add a dot there was none.

This should probably be moved to https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org where journals.json comes from.

Looks like that's already at https://github.com/JabRef/abbrv.jabref.org/issues/79.

Yup, let's focus on this.
