Change party name to correct historical party name #375

MPs' parties should always have an accurate historical party name in the MP database. Hence, MPs should be assigned to different party names although they are still the same party. E.g. Bondeförbundet --> Centerpartiet, Folkpartiet --> Liberalerna.

We should ensure that the MP database uses the correct historical party name. To do this we can use Jan Teorell's schema, attached here, which defines this from 1925.

This issue partly relates to #379
