Integrity Checker

Since R4J extends the Data Model of Jira it also comes with an additional integrity checker.

The integrity checker searches for common data inconsistencies in the R4J data and attempts to keep the data in a consistent state. It also comes with a repair function which, in case of errors, attempts to reset the data to a stable state.
