Description: This validator should be in two parts: A reusable and extendable library part as well as a tool wrapping it to listen to messages from the upstream tools (CRAWLER-39), validating the DwC-A files mentioned in those messages and then sending on a message with the result of the validation with both a detailed report and also a summary flag to indicate if the dataset should be used for further indexing processing.

Initially the validation should cover more or less what the online validator currently tests for which is primarily archive syntax, referential integrity and the use of null. It'd be nice if we could design the library in a way now that allows us to plug in various other validations at a later point and that allows us to integrate it into other tools like the IPT
