New version for CRAN

[pitkant]

Lots of small changes, at least compared to last CRAN release 0.7.26 from 2015. NEWS.md contains most important changes, but I'll copy paste them here as well:

sorvi 0.8.18 (2022-05-24)

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Removed the following outdated .R files and related functions: convert_municipality_codes.R, convert_municipality_names.R, get_municipality_info_mml.R, municipality_to_province.R and ropengov_storage_path.R.
• Removed qpdf, reshape2, RCurl and rjson from Depends and curl from imports

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

• Removed mentions to deprecated functions in package vignette

sorvi 0.8.17 (2021-11-30)

NEW FEATURES

• New function: get_ifpi_charts() for scraping data from Musiikkituottajat - IFPI Finland ry charts

sorvi 0.8.16 (2021-11-25)

NEW FEATURES

• New function: cran_downloads() for getting information about package downloads and optionally visualizing them
• New function: gh_issue_stats() for downloading information about opened issues and pull requests from different repositories

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

• Using GitHub Actions for testing and building pkgdown website with rogtemplate, rendering README.md file
• Overall package cleaning and fixing warnings, errors and notes

DEPRECATED AND DEFUNCT

• Removed hetu-related functions, tests and examples in vignette (now in separate hetu-package)

DOCUMENTATION FIXES

• Option "eval=false" in vignette examples that relied on GitHub as a data repository; GitHub seemed to deny connections when data was downloaded several times during vignette rebuilding

As a clarification, this PR includes only changes from 0.8.17 -> 0.8.18. The changes mentioned in 0.8.17 and below are already included in the master-branch. Just wanted to give a quick view on what has changed since last release in 2015!

For my part it is now ready, I added a cran-comments.md template and some additional GitHub actions checks that can be run manually after PR is merged

Local check --as-cran was OK, also devtools check_win_release and check_win_devel.
