Participants parser

[eenblam]

Similar to #3 , but in this case we might want to try

• Reading an entry from cases and getting the case number
• Fetching the page and parsing the Participants table
  • It's not very semantic, but it's still more structured than the CSV data
• Write participants to participants table with foreign key into cases
• If successful, mark case as successful parse, otherwise mark false on failure

i've got a function to parse the html string into participants. i think it's straightforward to add this into a workflow when fetching a page

Per our conversation today, it sounds like participants and docket activity can be parsed in the same script, since you can use pandas to get both tables out of the same blob of HTML.
