Migrating from earlier versions of rfishbase #33

Many of the function calls and return types in rfishbase 0.* were relatively crude, and thus it does not make much sense to mimic them. Instead, we should simply provide a guide to users to map any functionality in the original version into the 2.0 version.

Here's a complete list of functions in the current (v0.2-3) NAMESPACE, along with mappings that exist so far. Will continue to update this as we get further along in rfishbase2.0.

Available tables are given by heartbeat(). Working on API-level documentation that can return a more complete description of what is in each of these tables.
