List of current lords is out of date #112

While it looks as though new lords have recently been added, I think some former lords need to be marked as such, by adding end_dates to members/people.json.

For instance, Lord Ashdown’s death in 2018 has not been recorded. As a result, he’s still shown as current on TheyWorkForYou: https://www.theyworkforyou.com/peer/10015/lord_ashdown_of_norton-sub-hamdon

I haven’t looked closely, but I suspect there are ~100 similar examples.

Have updated the script to spot missing end dates as well as new lords, so hopefully this is fixed
