Control variables for the picky validator.

### *reify-refs*

#### dynamic

If `true`, references to objects in fields will be reified and validated. If `false`, they won’t, but an `:info` level fault report will be generated.

There are several things in the spec which, in a document, may correctly be either

1. a fully fleshed out object, or
2. a URI pointing to such an object.

Obviously to fully validate a document we ought to reify all the refs and check that they are themselves valid, but

a. in some of the published test documents the URIs do not reference a valid document; b. there will be performance costs to reifying all the refs; c. in perverse cases, reifying refs might result in runaway recursion.

TODO: I think that in production this should default to `true`.

### *reject-severity*

#### dynamic

The severity at which the binary validator will return `false`.

In practice documents seen in the wild do not typically appear to be fully valid, and this does not matter. This allows the sensitivity of the binary validator (`dog-and-duck.quack.quack`) to be tuned. It’s in this (`dog-and-duck.quack.picky`) namespace, not that one, because this namespace is where concerns about severity are handled.
