Add option to manually approve subscription before changing to Active

I have some clients who want a subscription website but they need to do various checks on the customer first (to ensure they fulfill various criteria), before activating the subscription.

1. HOW IT WORK NOW
a) Customer pays for a subscription product with their credit card.
b) Once the payment goes through, their subscription automatically starts.

2. HOW WE WOULD LIKE IT TO WORK
If we enable this new option, then;
a) Customer pays for a subscription product.
b) Subscription does not automatically start/activate.
c) Site admin sees the new subscription then does various checks on the customer. If the customers has all the criteria, the site admin marks the subscription as active (if not, they’ll cancel the sub and refund the money).

You should find this quite a common need, especially when Subscriptions are used with Memberships.
I believe it would greatly enhance the Subscriptions plugin.
