One-time version check - Githubissues

rzats commented 4 months ago

Closes #1281

Summary:

Adds a one-time check to the Epidata client, which logs a warning when the current "remote" server version (https://api.delphi.cmu.edu/epidata/version) does not match the client version.

This is limited to debug mode for now but can be easily extended to run by default.

Also adds a test to verify this behavior.

Prerequisites:

[x] Unless it is a documentation hotfix it should be merged against the dev branch
[x] Branch is up-to-date with the branch to be merged with, i.e. dev
[x] Build is successful
[x] Code is cleaned up and formatted
