Increase user-friendliness

[sylvainschmitt]

To increase user-friendliness, I'm implementing new developments on personal branches of my fork (uf_basic, uf_intermediate, and uf-advance). The developments are:

Basic

• Remove checks for unused columns PlotArea
• Remove checks for unused columns VernName, Circ, Xfield, Yfield, Lat, Lon
• Check Plot column only if present
• Check CensusYear column only if present
• Ease basic types inputs with autoconversion tests (with as.integer, as.logical and as.character)
• Ease table types inputs with autoconversion (DT & tibble & data.frame)
• Ease spatial types inputs with autoconversion (raster & terra, sp & sf)
• Add a stop if check/prepare inputs remove all lines
• Add a message if DBH or diameter column exists but not Circ
• Check DBH interval (1cm to 10m)

Intermediate

• Replace creekdistances argument for a named list with two arguments for two raster inputs
• Add an helper function to creat the mask

Advance

• Replace LoggingSimulationOutputs and LoggingSimulationOutputs_iter by new R objects with associated class to simplify and consolidate outputs and ease package use with commonly known methods (loggingsummary & loggingsummary1 to summary, show, print, autoplot)
