2014 TIGER TABBLOCK and FACES Schema Changed

Description

It looks like the US Census has changed the 2014 TIGER TABBLOCK and FACES shapefiles data schema. Some fields are missing from the 2013 version, and some have been modified with a "10" suffix. Unfortunately this breaks the loader scripts for 2014 state data in PostGIS. I am about 2 days into PostGIS so this is the extent of the details I can provide, but until this bug is resolved it appears the 2014 census data will be unusable. I would note that all other tables appeared to have loaded successfully, but these two ended up empty due to the errors in the loader script/

Running shp2pgsql on both data sets reveals the column names have changed:

TABBLOCK

2013: INSERT INTO "tiger_staging"."ca_tabblock" ("statefp","countyfp","statefp10","countyfp10","tractce10","blockce10","suffix1ce","geoid","name","mtfcc","ur10","uace10","funcstat","aland","awater","intptlat","intptlon",the_geom)

2014: INSERT INTO tiger_staging"."ca_tabblock" ("statefp10","countyfp10","tractce10","blockce10","geoid10","name10","mtfcc10","ur10","uace10","uatyp10","funcstat10","aland10","awater10","intptlat10","intptlon10",the_geom)

FACES

2013: INSERT INTO "tiger_staging"."ca_faces" ("tfid","statefp10","countyfp10","tractce10","blkgrpce10","blockce10","zcta5ce10","uace10","pumace10","statefp","countyfp","tractce","blkgrpce","blockce","suffix1ce","cousubfp","submcdfp","estatefp","conctyfp","placefp","aiannhfp","aiannhce","comptyp","trsubfp","trsubce","anrcfp","ttractce","tblkgpce","elsdlea","scsdlea","unsdlea","cd113fp","sldust","sldlst","csafp","cbsafp","metdivfp","cnectafp","nectafp","nctadvfp","lwflag","offset","atotal","intptlat","intptlon",the_geom)

This should be fixed in trunk: see #2906. PostGIS 2.2 (AFAICT soon to come) should be able to deal with TIGER 2014.

I'll backport my changes to 2.1 once I have tested more on 2.2 a bit. I think the tabblock one I still need to fix.
