Convert recent extract definitions from tibble to list format

Convert a tibble of extract definition specifications to a list of ipums_extract objects or vice versa.

Support for tabular extract history has been deprecated. Instead, use get_extract_history() to obtain definitions of recently-submitted extracts as a list. To identify past extracts that meet certain criteria, iterate through this list.
