Processing 1978 grant file pftaps19780321_wk12.zip the code crashes with a null name.

In JsonMapper.java, I have updated the MapName function to check for null. I don't know whether this is the optimal solution, but the file processes completely with this change.

 private JsonObject mapName(Name name) {
        JsonObjectBuilder jsonObj = Json.createObjectBuilder();
        if (name instanceof NamePerson) {
            NamePerson perName = (NamePerson) name;
            jsonObj.add("type", "person");
            jsonObj.add("raw", valueOrEmpty(name.getName()));
            jsonObj.add("prefix", valueOrEmpty(perName.getPrefix()));
            jsonObj.add("firstName", valueOrEmpty(perName.getFirstName()));
            jsonObj.add("middleName", valueOrEmpty(perName.getMiddleName()));
            jsonObj.add("lastName", valueOrEmpty(perName.getLastName()));
            jsonObj.add("suffix", valueOrEmpty(perName.getPrefix()));
            jsonObj.add("abbreviated", valueOrEmpty(perName.getAbbreviatedName()));
            jsonObj.add("synonyms", toJsonArray(perName.getSynonyms()));
        } else if (name != null) {
            NameOrg orgName = (NameOrg) name;
            jsonObj.add("type", "org");
            jsonObj.add("raw", valueOrEmpty(name.getName()));
            jsonObj.add("suffix", valueOrEmpty(orgName.getSuffix()));
            jsonObj.add("synonyms", toJsonArray(orgName.getSynonyms()));
        }
        return jsonObj.build();
    }
