Incorporate magistrate judges from 1990 to 2021

[mlissner]

Every so often we ask the AO for stuff we can't really get ourselves. In July of last year, we asked for a list of all magistrate judges, past and present. We already get regular updates from the FJC, but our hope was to get the historical data too. After many months of waiting, and to their immense credit, the AO did eventually deliver today. Attached please find roughly 1,000 magistrate judges that worked in the federal judiciary between 1990 and today. I'm told that prior to 1990 their data gets shaky and they won't share data that's imperfect. Fine, we'll take what we can get!

@flooie, is it a good bet that we have all these judges thanks to financial disclosures?

For now it looks like we're in pretty good shape here. We can make an importer someday, but it's not a priority.
