This was tricky because of the nature of newlines. In actuality we
are removing Unix line feeds here (U+000A) because Windows carriage
returns are actually already removed by the string stripping in the
whitespace fix.
Creating the test case in Vim was difficult because I couldn't fig-
ure out how to manually enter a line feed character. In the end I
used a search and replace on a known pattern like "ALAN", replacing
it with \r. Neither entering the Unicode code point (U+000A) direc-
tly or typing an "Enter" character after ^V worked. Grrr.
These are things like non-breaking spaces, "replacement" characters,
etc that add nothing to the metadata and often cause errors during
parsing or displaying in a UI.
In this case it fixes occurences of invalid multi-value separators.
DSpace uses "||" to separate multiple values in one field, but our
editors sometimes give us files with mistakes like "|". We can fix
these to be correct multi-value separators if we are sure that the
metadata is not actually using "|" for some legitimate purpose.
For now only test fixes because they return changed data. I'm not
sure how to test the checks, because they don't return data and I
can't modify them to return boolean values without breaking the app.
