Why these changes are being introduced:
If a processor adds an Archivematica Accession for a thesis that is otherwise ready for publication, they will need to update that thesis before its publication status switches over to 'Publication review'. This could become substantially time consuming when working with large batches of theses.
Relevant ticket(s):
How this addresses that need:
This creates new Degree Period records during the Registrar Data Import job, using a similar pattern to how we create new Degree and Department records. It also adds new Degree Period records to the mailer, so that processors can proactively create Archivematica Accession records for them.
