Closes #9462

Prevents independent publisher from importing. Previously only independently published was prevented. This PR expands this criteria to ensure independent publisher is not imported.

Technical

This PR only adds independent publisher as requested in issue #9462. However, we might want to add more publishers to this list as per https://openlibrary.org/search/publishers?q=independent+publisher

Testing

Testing is included. See tests.

Looks good to me. Thanks, @DebbieSan!

Let's just go with this current list for now and if we have to change it again, we will.

A next step may be to add "createspace" to the block list unless it's a promise item. I've recently seen a spike in these imports. Createspace is the former name of Amazon's POD service. We do sometimes have corresponding IA items matching the ISBNs, but this is a small fraction of the imported records. Unless there's a way to filter out the genuinely self-published titles from the public domain reprints, we should block the imports.
