PDF parsing for power unit allocations #2

I've added demo code for parsing the FIA's PU elements used per driver up to now PDF file published at the start of every race weekend.

Per our discussion on Slack, we won't be focusing on collecting the information for this PDF at the moment but it should come in handy for when the team decides to start parsing it in the future.

Disclaimer: I am new to both Python and PDF parsing so the code may not be up to standards but should still serve as a foundation for future endeavors. I'd be more than happy to make changes if requested 😃

Looks very good to me! Two minor things:

N° is not a "usual" English word. Better to convert it to driver_no to make sure we are using consistent variable naming across the scripts
for the same reason, car may be renamed to team

This is not urgent so I will merge this first. Thanks a lot!
