Major Algorithm Patch

[KobeZ123]

Description

It seems like some of the JSON from the 2024-2025 catalog year majors were causing the major validation algorithm to crash and there were two common culprits:

1. A requirement section was scraped with no requirements, which threw an error in the validator. Ideally, no major should have a shape where there are no requirements in a section but this PR just suppresses this error by returning Ok.
2. Some requirement sections seem to have scraped requirements with nested arrays. This is an issue that was also causing crashes on the frontend that Shireen has solved. The shape of the inner elements of the arrays seem valid, so there is some code to "unpack" these nested section requirements

Closes # (issue number)
