Adds Denali Commission #161

Adds the Denali Commission OIG.

As I described here, the Denali Commission is I think the strangest IG of the bunch, and my favorite.

But as websites go, theirs is the least useful to scrape I've found. There's nary a date on any but the semiannual reports, and more than half the PDFs are scanned images.

There aren't many reports, and their output is...slow, so I just hardcoded the dates for every report. Also, the actual inspector general responsible for every report here, Mike Marsh, has since stepped down. There have been no reports from his successor, Acting Inspector General David Sheppard. It's entirely possible the website will change when the acting IG starts issuing reports!

Or, that Congress will just shut the whole thing down, as Mike Marsh asked them to do.

Thanks, @konklone, looks great! Merging.
