Updated functions for merging eviction filings to owners. Includes updated standardized and processing functions.

Link to google slides with more explicit explanation of matching steps -https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1werhHddc48uftsKExMC2ZbE6S7imobxMNfq0NTQ60vo/edit?usp=sharing

NOTE: When the databases were updated, I can no longer access the eviction filings and plantiff data so wasn't able to fully finish testing the code

STEP 1: Match eviction filing addresses to assessor records addresses
STEP 1A: Match on address, city, zip, or address, city
STEP 1B: For evictions that don't match directly on address, do a
spatial nearest neighbor join (defined in match_nearby_filings() helper function)
to parcel data and then try to match addresses.

STEP 2: Match eviction plantiffs to owners (STILL WIP)
STEP 2A: Direct string match of plantiff and owner name
STEP 2B: Fuzzy match plantiff and owner name
STEP 2C: For plantiffs unmatched in 2A-C, match by name within parcel.

STEP 3: Combine into one file

This is a large commit with my updates to file_linkes.R. Also includes updates to processer and standardizer helper functions for data cleaning.
