Create an API endpoint for votes

[waldoj]

Per https://twitter.com/mjgoldsmith/status/963598295661776896

• create an endpoint for a single vote
• modify the bill endpoint to include vote IDs, and possibly the URL for the API call for that vote information
• perhaps create an endpoint to list all votes for a given year (that might be better as bulk data)

vote.php is getting vote data via the Vote class, which is...not existing?

I'm confused.

Here's what it's returning right now for e.g. https://api.richmondsunlight.com/1.1/vote/2018/h09v0069.json:

It remains to add some basic data about both the vote and the bill. Presumably the date of the vote, where the vote was held (e.g., in a committee or a subcommittee), the HTML URL, and basic data about the bill like the number, catchline, and endpoint URL.
