pipenostics 0.2.1

add data to b36pipedata from API 5L Tables
deprecate function wth_d
spread diameter d and wall thickness wth checkmates to all functions with those arguments
add rulc - remain useful life calculator

cosmetic improvements to documentation
datasets api5l3t and m325testbench are renamed to api5l3tdata and m325nxdata appropriately for the purpose of unification with dataset naming rules
functions b36mass(), b36wth() b36d() are introduced to calculate mass and geometric characteristics of actually manufactured pipes
nominal specifications of the manufactured pipes now are represented in b36pipedata-dataset

where possible and justified, support for multi-threaded data processing, based on the capabilities of the parallel package, has been added.
functions for determining the state of water and steam (IAPWS) have been excluded from the package due to the decision to use the built-in functions from iapws-package imported from CRAN.
set of functions mgtdhid(), mgtdhidt(), mgtdhgeo(), mgtdhgeot() are introduced to interface with Modified Ground Temperature Double Harmonic Model.
function meteos() is introduced to get a list of weather stations
functions geodist() and geoarea() for calculating geographical metrics are added.
functions traceline(), tracefw(), and tracebw() were added to process district heating networks with user-provided heat loss.
job log of m325tracefw() now does not contain duplicated traced flow paths.
job logs of m325tracefw() and m325tracebw() now contain loss, flux, Q.
function m325tracebw()now can trace partially sensor-equipped district networks.
functions m325dropt() and m325tracebwm() were excluded.
functions flux_loss() and loss_flux() were added to convert between specific heat loss power, [kcal/m/h] , and heat flux, [W/m^2].
the heat loss related terminology was clarified and adjusted: terms specific heat loss power, [kcal/m/h], and heat flux, [W/m^2], are viewed separately while stay closely related. Term consumption replaced with flow_rate.
