formatting of data from json
col_type handling of checkboxes
col_type correctly sets character instead of factor for "completed" fields

  - 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.
