Problem when GEDCOM link in CONT or CONC lineClosedIssue

When importing large files, for example exported from geni.com, the parser may fail if there happens to be a gedcom link in a comment. If this happens we run in to the error message "_Cannot concatenate a pointer (CONC/CONT cannot have a pointer value) at line_", but I do not understand why this error message exists, since the plaintext fields CONT CONC and NOTE should treat any GEDCOM links (token starting and ending with @ ) just like any other plain text string. There even seem to be a test that is testing for this to fail in "_parser - concatenation_" it seems. This looks strange to me, and should be removed I think.

Allow all text in plain text fieldsMergedPR

The gedcom parser did not allow GEDCOM links in plain text fields. This has now been fixed.
