Distinguish between MPs that never belonged to a party and MPs that have "unknown" party #88

Currently, it is a bit messy in the filtering function for party metadata. There is both "Utan partibeckning" and "Okänt".

It seems that "Okänt" is connected to those MPs who never belonged to a party. But this is misleading. Correct label should be "Utan partibeteckning".

Currently, "Utan partibeteckning" seems to be connected to those MPs who have unknown party value. This is also misleading and should be swift to "Metadata saknas". Hence, we should avoid the label "Okänt" since it sends a wrong signal of what is the problem.

Hence:

MPs who never belonged to a party = "Utan partibeteckning" with the abbreviation "[-]"

MPs who has no metadata for party = "Metadata saknas" with the abbreviation "[?]"
