modify code in R/as.R to not use the |> operator so that the package code has more backward compatibility.

Extend the col_types to use lubridate arguments for working with dates and datetimes
Add a vignette about formatting
remove as.data.table only return data.frames. End users can then coerce the data.frame to a tibble or data.table if they prefer.
add additional columns to the example data to test and demonstrate the use of the package

improved the internal read_text function's checking of the Content-Type from the raw data.
formatting of data from json
col_type handling of checkboxes
col_type correctly sets character instead of factor for "completed" fields

made format_record a S3 generic.
- Allows for a similar API as prior version
  - USER VISIBLE CHANGE the functional argument record no longer exists, use the generic argument x
- Allows for easier use by taking in a rcer_rccore object so the metadata or the col_type does not need to be explicitly defined.

The dependence on the RCurl package resulted in SSL errors on Windows. The package no longer imports RCurl and uses curl instead. (#16)

support formatting for check boxes (integer columns in record) (#12)
omit description text fields form auto formatting (#10)
refactoring the format_record so columns not explicitly defined in the col_type are returned. Prior version would have omitted the columns. This also allows for redcap_* columns to pass through (#9)
Add helper functions for building and working with a keyring for storage and access to API tokens (#14)
Support more, if not all, column types (#15)

Initial release.
