Check validity of a Metadata Control Number

Checks the format of the Metadata Control Number and warns the user if the provided value might not adhere to the expected format. check_mcn has no access to EPHT systems or APIs and cannot check your mcn against any kind of list of accepted values. It checks if the value is a string, the length of the string and the pattern and nothing else.
