Functional error handling for fun and profit!

Kotlin uses the Result type to model success/failure in a functional way.
Using the Result type for operations that might throw an exception increases the readability by
- focusing on the happy path
- using familiar concepts like
mapandfold
The PersonFileReader already uses try/catch statements as expressions.
Still, it's hard to follow the programs flow, because it's disturbed by the explicit exception handling.
Try to refactor the class using Kotlins runCatching and the Result type while keeping the tests green. 💚
Have fun! 😎
