[Frameworks] Kodak black leader discontinued

[director at lift.on.ca]

According to a british neg cutter on the cinematography forum, ORWO hs
also stopped production of their black leader.

One suggestion to conserve stock for neg cutting was to use only a foot of
real black leader on each end, slug in between, giving the lab enough time
to close the lamp for that section.
