In CheckDigit: Calculate and Verify Check Digits

#' Append a check digit to a value

#' @param x character vector of values requiring a check digit
#' @param method a character value naming the check digit algorithm to use
#'
#' @return character vector similar to `x` but with a check digit appended to
#'   each value

#' @examples
#' AppendCheckDigit("1234", "Verhoeff") # 12340
