In WoodSimulatR: Generate Simulated Sawn Timber Strength Grading Data

WoodSimulatR 0.6.0

Major overhaul of simulate_dataset():
- Corrected bug that created errors when only one variable was defined by *_mean and *_sd in the argument subsets.
- Made warning and error messages more explicit and clear.
- Added examples.
- Added a parameter RNGversion and changed the default of RNGversion from "3.5.0" to "3.6.0". This followed an improvement in random number generation that was introduced in R version 3.6.0 (see the R help on RNGversion()). The new parameter RNGversion was added to enable perfect reproducibility of simulated data sets generated with earlier versions of WoodSimulatR.
- Added the possibility to use different identifier columns in the subsets parameter.
- Updated the documentation accordingly and corrected some typos -- in particular, the documentation mentioned a "WoodGradeR" package, but it should be "WoodSimulatR".
Removed bug which meant that force_positive=FALSE didn't work with objects of class simbase_list.
Added information on the origin and species of the underlying sawn timber in the help on simbase.
Added the unit "N/mm^2" of the variable ip_f in the help on simbase.
Added Date entry in the DESCRIPTION.
Added link to Holzforschung Austria in README.md, which got lost due to a mistake in README.Rmd.
Slight update to the vignette "woodsimulatr_basics", especially to show the new possibility to use different identifier columns in the call to simulate_dataset().
