PHAC dataset may be missing some updates for NT cases #61

For example, despite an indication of an update being provided (update = 1), there were no updates to the case data on May 16.

Thus, pursuant to ccodwg/Covid19CanadaETL#46, perhaps the NT case data should be rebuilt from the archived NT dashboard snapshots. Note that there a couple of missing days in the archive due to the fickleness of the NT dashboard.

Could begin with archived data starting 2022-04-04, when updates started going weekly.

Actually, data updates will have to revert back to the PHAC weekly dataset, similar to NU. This is because updates are suspended to the NT dashboard as of June 13, 2022:

The NWT COVID-19 dashboard will cease updates as of 2022-06-13 and will be suspended as of 2022-06-30. For more information please visit the HSS COVID-19 webpage.

Strangely, the latest value for NT in the PHAC weekly epidemiology update is 11,488 for 2022-06-18, which is lower than the value reported on NT dashboard on 2022-06-13 (11,497 residents + 14 residents OOT).

Even if there are a few holes in the NT dashboard cases page snapshots, it should be possible to fill them using other saved pages from the same date, since the HTML of the first page should be loaded on top of the HTML from the other tabs.

Note that the death dataset could be reconstructed in the same way.
