Dev setup needs tweaking

In the instructions, this sequence is not correct:

fab init_dev_db
fab ingest_fixtures
fab import_web_volumes
fab refresh_case_body_cache
fab rebuild_search_index

Specifically, fab rebuild_search_index fails with

  File "/app/capapi/documents.py", line 209, in prepare_casebody_data
    cites_by_id = {k: list(v) for k,v in groupby(sorted(outbound_cites, key=lambda c: c.opinion_id), lambda c: c.opinion_id)}
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'NoneType'

This sequence works:

fab init_dev_db
fab ingest_fixtures
fab import_web_volumes
fab rebuild_search_index  # this fails fast!
fab refresh_case_body_cache
fab rebuild_search_index

but the first index rebuild fails.

That is, 473f4ef was not correct.

@jcushman does it make sense that dropping and recreating the index in the first (failing) fab rebuild_search_index is necessary?

"Helpfully", this didn't happen to me and stepping through the original order worked fine.

Really delete and recreate cases? [y/N] y
Deleting cases
Creating cases
Scheduling tasks to reindex volumes

Done.

Mystery solved this week: It was likely Docker running out of resources.
I added a note to README.md with recommended settings.
