Add script for processing local file

Use Case

Please provide a use case to help us understand your request in context

To process the various one-off events that occur, for example, I just started processing the 2021 election events for Seattle.

Solution

Please describe your ideal solution

I wrote a tiny script to do this in cdptools that takes a local file + some JSON file for the event / minutes details (the questions asked at the forum), uploads the video to Google storage then processes that uploaded file with the config JSON for event details.

In cdp-backend this is actually easier because all the ingestion models are seriabliable to JSON iirc. dataclasses_json.
So that would mean a user simply has to write the object in Python and serialize or just in pure JSON, then have a script accept the serialized ingestion model + the video path.
