Simplify voterid lookup in add volunteer and signup #195

There are multiple apps for doing voter lookup and some of them have fallen out of sync. We need to standardize one and continue to maintain it. Also we need to change the application code to support only one voter lookup app.

There are currently 3 apps used at various places for voterid lookup.

voterdb maintains the entire database of voters including name, rel name etc. votersearch takes district number and voterid and searches the CEO website directly. This doesn't work for Delhi as the form is behind a captcha. voter-lookup maintains mapping from voterid to state, ac and pb for all voterids.

My suggestion is go with voter-lookup.
