Summary: Don't mark illegal connections in note field

Initial Comment:
SVN head version of DCCSS.

The current reports identify illegal records querying for 
some Arabic text in the note field. I think this concept
should be abandoned as soon as possible. Instead I
propose to add a boolean value to the Subscriber class
HasIllegalConnection to identify suspected illegal
connections.

When values from the Note fields make it into main
reports, the code should definitely be refactored.

Reasons:

* The existing code breaks the multi-lingual character
of the application. Source code will need adjustments
for porting to other languages.

* Data entry is faster if this value can be selected
instead of being typed

* Queries are much more complicated

* A simple case like Subscriber.Note="Result of second
inspection: There is no illegal connection" cannot be
handled

Additional measures:

The value "HasConnectionBefore" implies
"HasIllegalConnection". A quality control query should
ensure this (Quality Control Report). The query for
illegal connections should only check the field
"HasIllegalConnection" to keep things simple
and transparent.
Eventually "HasConnectionBefore" can be abandoned.

Please comment and provide an implementation plan for
the necessary changes.
