`R CMD CHECK` fails on `v2.3`

[PietrH]

Due to broken vignettes and examples that still use connect_to_etn():

• [x] #306
• [x] #308
• [x] formattable suggested but not available
• [x] unable to verify current time on VLIZ RStudio
• [x] Examples download_acoustic_dataset() #308
• [x] argument documentation get_tags()
• [x] Examples get_acoustic_deployments() #308
• [x] if condition comparing class to string: etn/R/list_values.R

checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE
  Found if() conditions comparing class() to string:
  File ‘etn/R/list_values.R’: if (class(arguments$column) == "name") ...
  Use inherits() (or maybe is()) instead.

timestamp note is a global thing; https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63613301/r-cmd-check-note-unable-to-verify-current-time

Apparently R CMD CHECK relies on an external web resource to get the current time.

Found new issue: #320

Decided not to let this block the beta of v2.3, but this might cause issues in the long run
