This does not fix the underlying download functions in data-raw.

All links are now up to date, along with download functions in data-raw and the data itself.

I also updated nycflights. At this point, I think I'd like to take over both of them to the best of my ability and try and synchronize the code and modernize it while keeping backwards compatibility with old versions of R.

I mentioned this in my commit to nycflights as well, but I'm not really sure what the process for that would be besides just making lots of PRs

There was something keeping me up with the other commit. Row counts didn't match.

I did my best but the current data is too different to the original and I don't have access to the original source files. In the new version, there are four tail numbers that no longer exist in `planes`.  However, there are now 38 more tail numbers in `planes` and 1213 more `flights` that have a tail number with an associated plane.

FYI, the old AR062014.zip file is still available on archive.org:

https://web.archive.org/web/20140707054650/http://registry.faa.gov/database/AR062014.zip

I haven't done any comparison against the new ReleasableAircraft file yet, but having the old file should help resolve any questions about how to parse the new format.
