Fixes #239
This PR adds header-based column detection for PACER docket descriptions, making the parser more robust to variations in table structure across different courts.
Problem
Different courts use different table layouts for docket entries:
The existing code hardcoded the assumption that descriptions would always be in column index 2, which fails for 2-column layouts.
Solution
Testing
