AttributeError: RECAP Email error when merging the attachment page for a sealed document

[sentry-io]

This has happened once so far, but the solution seems simple.

We currently have a condition to avoid merging attachments if the docket entry is sealed; however, this condition does not apply when the entry itself is not sealed but the main document is, as in this case.

We should also consider the possibility that the main document is sealed while its attachments are not. So, it seems safer to avoid merging attachments if no valid attachment data is returned by Juriscraper.

I'll put this on the January sprint where a bunch of these kinds of things are piling up. Thanks for filing.
