add a `resubmit_extract()` method to be-able to regenerate "purged" extracts

[renae-r]

While extract definitions persist indefinitely, actual extract files do not. It would be good to be able to allow a user to re-constitute a previously-created extract and re-download it after IPUMS has stopped retaining the extract data file.

Is there a functionality for this in the backend API already? Or would this be on the client side?

This would be on the client side. The "resubmit" functionality that exists as part of the web app is kind of a misnomer - it really just creates a new extract based on the definition of a previous one. I've got some time carved out tomorrow afternoon for ipumspy work - I'll create a PR to show you what I'm thinking!

Nice!
