Changes

Modified read_team_match_stats to cache match history tables as csv files for faster reading.
Added force_cache parameter to read_team_match_stats for consistency with other methods.

Issues

Currently does not detect latest league season, as a placeholder season 23-24 is dropped regardless of the current season.
Cluttered read_team_match_stats.
