Title: Adds other_names where applicable

First, this is fantastic! So thrilled that it's on github. It would be tremendously helpful to me in Capitol Words to be able to divine what other names I should attempt to match in the case of an unattributed passage of speech based on general timeframe, in the rare cases where names have changed. In this commit I've added a field, `other_names`, to Mary Bono Mack to describe her name change in Dec 2007. This field would be a list of anonymous objects defining only the parts of the name that differ, and including `start` and `end` dates where applicable.
