maintain the list of candidates whose profiles are liable to vandalism in the database

[mhl]

The feed of changes that might need special attention at /feeds/needs-review.xml includes any edits to candidate profiles where the candidate has been marked as particularly liable to vandalism. At the moment this list of candidates is stored as a Django setting, which means that it can only be changed by developers, and requires a redeploy to take effect. For example, this setting (PEOPLE_LIABLE_TO_VANDALISM) is set for the UK here:

yournextrepresentative/elections/uk/settings.py
