w3c_validate plugin

This is a plugin for Pelican that submits generated HTML content to the W3C Markup Validation Service.

After all content is generated, the output folder is traversed for HTML files, and the content is submitted to the W3C validator, after which the results are displayed. For example:

-> writing /tmp/_output/sitemap.xml
-> Validating: /tmp/_output/archives.html
ERROR: line: 2; col: 52; message: Bad value http://www.w3.org/1999/html for the attribute xmlns (only http://www.w3.
-> Validating: /tmp/_output/categories.html
ERROR: line: 2; col: 52; message: Bad value http://www.w3.org/1999/html for the attribute xmlns (only http://www.w3.

Note: The above output assumes you have called Pelican with the --debug flag. Otherwise, you will see errors (if any) but not the file currently being validated.
