Tabulate by slice updates

[yezr]

Followup to #807. After doing extended testing of Tabulate by Batch I discussed some proposals w/ RCVRC HQ related to Tabulate by Batch and Tabulate by Precinct. These are referred to below collectively as 'Tabulate by Slice'

• Include contest level Elect/Eliminate rows in all tabulate by slice summary files similar to the full contest summary.csv. Currently, neither Tabulate by Precinct or Tabulate by Batch include them. The hope is this will reduce confusion. The example being seeing a candidate with the most Round 1 votes eliminated in the by slice summary because of the contest level Elect/Eliminate decision.
• Make explicit that Elect/Eliminate decisions are made at the contest level by including the following text in the final line of the file: "*Elect/Eliminate decisions are from the full contest. All other results on this report are at the [precinct|batch] level."
• Remove threshold information from tabulate by slice summary files. Since the Elected/Eliminated decisions are at the contest level the threshold information can be confusing.
  • The Final Threshold number in row 9 for both.
  • The Current Round Threshold row. Currently only in the precinct summary files.
• Use the same candidate order in Tabulate by Slice summary files to match the contest wide summary file. In my test contest that I used for #870 the sub-jurisdiction summary files had candidates listed in a different order than the contest summary file. I believe each of the Tabulate by Slice summary files were using the first round vote tallies limited to only their universe. Can we make it so that the Tabulate by Slice files have the same candidate order as the full contest summary?

Will do. Another option is to include these items in the asterisked note.
