Switch from RefClass to R6 #502

Closed pkrog closed 3 years ago

pkrog commented 3 years ago

Switch Biodb* classes from RefClass (R5) to R6. Once switched, upgrade version of Biodb to next number and publish. Existing extension packages will have to switch to newer version and use R6 too instead of RefClass when ready.

Make wizard capable of upgrading from RefClass/R5 to R6.

R6 does not handle multiple inheritance. ==> Make Downloadable, Remotedb, Editable and Writable part of BiodbConn. Add corresponding properties (flags) to connector's definition.
