usethis is not needed as a dependency

I just submitted usethis v3.0.0 to CRAN and test failures in f1dataR showed up in their reverse dependencies checks (although not in mine).

I don't think this package needs to list usethis in DESCRIPTION, since I think usethis is only used below data-raw/, i.e. a user never needs usethis installed to use f1dataR. Even a developer only needs it when updating the data in the package. I just thought I would point this out, since false reverse dependencies just increase the chance of failing CRAN's submission checks.

Below I show the check failure for f1dataR. It looks like the tests try to obtain data from the internet and then test against it. I would avoid running "live internet" tests on CRAN, because it's just too risky.
