Add legacy endpoint to API #9

Closed seandavi closed 7 years ago

seandavi commented 8 years ago

The legacy endpoint contains data that have not gone through the new GDC pipelines. The legacy archive is described here. Because some data are only available via the legacy archive, we should support that endpoint.

Added support for legacy archive by adding archive member to GDCQuery and then propagating that to the actual API calls (in REST.R). Need to:

[x] Add tests
[x] do sanity checking in calling functions
[x] document

Legacy endpoint is fully supported (to the extent it is supported by GDC API).
