Add addendum opinions, change opinion sequence #483

Open elliottash opened 8 years ago

When there are multiple "lead" opinions, for example explaining why rehearing was denied, let's call this an "addendum opinion" to distinguish it from lead, concurring, and dissenting opinions.

Further, let's use the ordering of opinions specified by the judges, so we need to re-do the OPINION_TYPES code on cl.search.models.Opinion.

As Mike advised, let's use a float field for the sequence in case we need to add "Opinion 2.5" later on.
