mblanke 15094ac94b Add Python web scraper for NJC travel rates with currency extraction
- Implemented Python scraper using BeautifulSoup and pandas to automatically collect travel rates from official NJC website
- Added currency extraction from table titles (supports EUR, USD, AUD, CAD, ARS, etc.)
- Added country extraction from table titles for international rates
- Flatten pandas MultiIndex columns for cleaner data structure
- Default to CAD for domestic Canadian sources (accommodations and domestic tables)
- Created SQLite database schema (raw_tables, rate_entries, exchange_rates, accommodations)
- Successfully scraped 92 tables with 17,205 rate entries covering 25 international cities
- Added migration script to convert scraped data to Node.js database format
- Updated .gitignore for Python files (.venv/, __pycache__, *.pyc, *.sqlite3)
- Fixed city validation and currency conversion in main app
- Added comprehensive debug and verification scripts

This replaces manual JSON maintenance with automated data collection from official government source.
