Disallow joining corp w/ war targets present in local

A minor change is needed with regards to joining a corp at war;

Corp A is at war with Corp B
Member from NPC Corp C is told where to find WTs in hi sec from corp B
They locate miners or missioners in hi sec system, bookmark location close to victim, dock in local NPC system, join Corp A, undock and warp directly to bookmark; Instant pwnage for mining ships.

When joining a corp, system check should be done for war targets in local. If present, the system should reject the corp joining with a warning: "War targets of the corporation you are attempting to join are present in this system. For your safety, joining this corporation while war targets are present is not allowed. Please join this corporation in a star system devoid of war targets"

While not perfect, it does remove at least a minor element of "gaming the rules" and return the value to having scouts watching the jump gates, without having to have someone floating outside every single station *and* jump gate.

At the very least, this change should be applicable to hi sec systems. While no area in Eve is 100% safe, nor should it be, the expectation of at least some level of security in .5 and above systems is simple common sense.
