Add Westlaw Citations from Donor #608

I just got a zip file containing about 200,000 WL citations. We'll want to import these into the DB once we have finished adding the columbia corpus. At that time, we'll probably be able to get even more citations. A sample of the file looks like:

[
    "United States District Court, E.D. New York.", 
    "May 20, 2015", 
    "110 F.Supp.3d 429", 
    "2015 WL 2412379"
], 
[
    "United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.", 
    "June 23, 1988", 
    "851 F.2d 43", 
    "1988 WL 65071"
], 
[
    "United States District Court, W.D. New York.", 
    "November 13, 2008", 
    "Not Reported in F.Supp.2d", 
    "2008 WL 4911765"
],

It's JSON, but I think it was just generated from a CSV. Sometimes there's a fifth item in the array for the case name, but only rarely.

The tally is now up to about 280k WL citations. Wow.
