Edit the initial_loading python script to support full database creation and reoccurring updates

Check txt or json file to see if a "database_exists" variable is set to True
- if "database_exists" == False, set minimum date to lowest date needed for full creation
- if "database_exists" == True, access the txt or json file for the last time the script was ran and set the minimum retrieval date to that date

rename initial_loading.py to load_and_update_db.py or something that better encapsulates the script's scope post-changes
