Refactor README and Vignette(s)

[MattCowgill]

We now have three broad groups of functions:

• Functions (such as read_abs()) to load ABS time series data
• Functions (such as download_abs_data_cube() to load ABS data cubes
• Functions (such as read_api()) to load data from the ABS.Stat API

The README should make it clear what each of these groups of functions are, what they do, and when you would use one over the other. Each group of functions should have a separate vignette OR a clearly-delineated separate section in a single vignette.

• [x] README
• [ ] Vignette(s)

functions work but help files are (apparently) corrupted (see below), not sure if me or the documentation. probably me honestly.

Very weird @palesl, I’ll check it out

[MattCowgill]

Hi @palesl, I can't reproduce this, which is weird! We're both on arm64 (Apple Silicon) machines, too.

Could you please try restarting R, then doing this again?

remotes::install_github("MattCowgill/readabs") 
library(readabs)

HI Matt, yes it seems to work now, thanks!
