Generic csv importer

[aboodman]

See clients/json_importer as an example.

Since csv is a table, we should import it into List<T>. Not sure what best way to determine T is ... maybe look at some existing csv data, but ideas include:

• If it's common for the first row to be the headers, have a -first-row-is-header flag on the importer that we use to get field names of T.
• Take a flag that either references or defines a type to use as T.

Seems like a good starter...

I'm actually not sure of some good sample data off-hand. It'd be good to find a real example of something useful, not just made-up data.

Note that we can't do the List<T> thing until #31 is fixed. For now this can just import a list of maps.

For sample data there is https://catalog.data.gov/dataset?res_format=CSV

Great, that works.
