create_entity() takes a bit of time to process larger files. this is due to several tasks that parse the files themselves:

calculate checksums and file sizes
checks for attribute congruence (e.g. has to parse data table to see if codes defined in metadata are present in data and vice versa)

we need an option to bypass these if user wants to spit out EML quickly

also relevant on repeat code runs

PR #59 solves this by adding a skip_checks option to create_entity() and create_entity_all()
