…to REPORTED

Although this indicates that a bill is ready for floor action, in the Senate this may result from an opponent objecting to committee consideration, which seems to be a way to kill a bill:

* https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/RS22309.html
* https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/2022/5/10/senate-section/article/s2385-7?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22S.4164%22%2C%22S.4164%22%5D%7D&s=1&r=1

The "type" code (which no one uses) on actions that are actually for "ordered reported" are changed from "calendar" to "ordered-reported".

The "Committee ... Reported by" regex is revised to catch "original measure" and "to Senate".
…ng_action_regex option

I use reparse_actions to quickly test bill action line regex changes that relate to detecting major actions and bill status. It reports a diff of any changed JSON or XML output file. And it works for bills before we have GPO BILLSTATUS XML data files (i.e. before the 108th Congress).

* Some logic is fixed.
* matching_action_regex can be used to select bills to reparse by matching a regex to action lines.
* Don't run on bills before the 93rd Congress which come from parsing Statutes at Large metadata or the Library of Congress American Memory archive.
