R package wrapper to the CEDAR API #68

I know there will be a number of metadata nerds in attendance, this one's for you 😀

CEDAR provides tools for capturing metadata through templates and forms that can reduce the pain and error-prone-ness of typical metadata generation. I'm proposing an R package wrapper to the CEDAR API. Should be a pretty straightforward project that we could do in two days (or at least make good headway).

I've been in touch with the program manager from CEDAR in the past and they seemed excited about community collaborations. As far as I know, no one has been working on a CEDAR R package yet.
