Devise a way to reduce the individual file size #8

We ship the LINCS data files metadata with the package. This has resulted in some files (particularly raw/LINCS-Perturbagen-Metadata.xls being over the limit.

BioConductor Submission Guidelines state that an individual file can not be more than 5MB.

Here are the potential solutions:

Use a different storage format with compression rather than a regular TSV
Move the metadata itself to an external data API
Look at ExperimentHub for storage.

Managed to remove unnecessary data stored in the files and the compressed the raw-data files.
