SURF - To implement Cosine and Soundex on SURF

[ananay95]

Currently, we use an R script to run Cosine and Soundex, and then another to check the work.

- These scripts are cumbersome and not very user-friendly.

- These scripts can also not be used during election time. These scripts look at candidates who ran in the early years first, and then look for corresponding matches in later years. This means that every time the script is run, the user must look at all matches from 1962 onwards before even being given the option to look at clusters for the later years.

Implementing these scripts into SURF will make the workflow more user-friendly and allow us to use them during election time
