[db-wg] Validation on "org-name:" syntax (double spaces and newlines)

Hi Alex

I presume 'whitespace' does include them, but to be sure Tim can confirm that.

> Out of 114181 ORGANISATION objects, 112 objects use multiple consecutive whitespace in the ?org-name:? attribute and only 1 uses a multi-line value. While this is a tiny fraction these objects are a bit problematic to us when we verify that the ?org-name:? matches the name of the organisation that we allocated or assigned resources to in our records. We also believe that this is highly confusing to users and tools parsing these objects.

While currently not an issue, you should include other non-spaces
whitespace (i.e. Tabs & NULL-Bytes) in your blacklist.
