Scattering in primaries (post-2010) lacks party #30

Check out test failures here: https://travis-ci.org/nbdavies/openelections-data-wi/builds/262484146 (These came up because I added tests for elections that were previously untested.)

An example failing assertion:

  Scenario Outline: Tests -- @42.3 20150217__wi__special__primary__ward.csv 
    When I visit the election file
    And I search for CON party candidate Scattering running for State Senate in the VILLAGE OF KEWASKUM WD 6 in Fond du Lac
      Assertion Failed: No record found with expected values
      Captured stdout:
      Expecting Con, Scattering, State Senate, Village Of Kewaskum Wd 6, Fond Du Lac

If the test didn't specify a party for this, it would fail for more than one matching row (since Scattering appears across parties' primaries).

Fixed at commit c707b4d. Improved candidate extraction from column headings, adding many Scattering records.
