Breaking changes

unlockREDCap upstream dependency on shelter now default to 'SHELTER_' prefix when looking for ENV variable overrides.

exportDags, exportFieldNames, exportProjectInformation, exportReportsTyped, importDags, writeDataForImport, and exportRecordsTyped now have a csv_delimiter parameter to control delimiter utilized.
importMetaData bug fix when given duplicate names to exit and warn user properly.
redcapUserRoleStructure allows new alerts, api_modules, and data_quality_resolution attributes.
exportUsers properly handles the columns random_setup, random_dashboard and random_perform.
importUsers and exportUsers weren't handling data_access_group assignment properly.
exportUserRoles now avoids errors when user role access columns are missing from export responses.
exportFileRepositoryListing returns a data.frame with 6 columns (was 4) from REDCap version 16.0.8 and up.
redcapConnection has better documentation on setting the CSV delimiter and this is respected through most calls except for ones that have been shown to be hard coded to commas by REDCap.

A future release of version 3.0.0 will introduce several breaking changes!

The exportRecords function interface will be replaced. Please switch your processes to exportRecordsTyped
The importRecords function interface will be replaced to utilize castForImport to prepare data for import. Validation logs will no longer be printed.
The redcapFactor class is being discontinued with all its supporting methods (including redcapFactorFlip). Please use recastRecords instead.
The recodeCheck function is being discontinued. Please use recastRecords instead.
