pipenostics 0.3.0

Active issues has been solved.
Function wth_d has been deprecated.
Breaking changes have been made to m325-tracers and flux-loss recalculations.
In appropriate functions the checkmate asserts specify ~0.29 mm as a minimum allowable value for pipe thickness wth.
In m325nhldata column diameter has been renamed to d that unifies it with b36pipedata column names.
Additional check for positivity of internal diameter now is made inside those functions which accept outside diameter and wall thickness as arguments.
Dataset m325nxdata now contains values of a-factor, pipe widths, and pipe diameters in mm, so that it's valid b36pipedata data.
Function b36dwthv is introduced to perform validation of d/wth value pairs.
Functions m325nvl(), m325nml() are introduced to calculate normative material loss of heat carrierin pipe.
Issues with links in documentation are solved.
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, and 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/m²].
The heat loss related terminology was clarified and adjusted: terms specific heat loss power, [kcal/m/h], and heat flux, [W/m²], are viewed separately while stay closely related. Term consumption replaced with flow_rate.
