Create `epid` and `pid` objects with index of matching records

Description

make_episodes(
  x_pos,
  y_pos,
  x_val,
  date,
  case_nm,
  wind_id,
  wind_nm,
  from_last,
  data_source,

)

make_pids(
  x_pos,
  y_pos,
  x_val,
  link_id,
  pid_cri,
  data_source,
  data_links,
  iteration
)

Arguments

`x_pos`	`[integer]`. Index of one half of a record pair.
`y_pos`	`[integer]`. Index of one half of a record pair.
`x_val`	`[integer]`. Value of one half of a record pair.
`date`	`[date\|datetime\|integer\|number_line]`. Record date or period.
`case_nm`	`[integer\|character]` Record type in regards to case assignment (`sub_criteria[Encoded]`).
`wind_id`	`[integer]`. Unique reference ID for each match.
`wind_nm`	`[list]`. Type of window i.e. "Case" or "Recurrence".
`from_last`	`[logical]`. Chronological order of episode tracking i.e. ascending (`TRUE`) or descending (`FALSE`).
`data_source`	`[character]`. Source ID for each record.
`data_links`	`[list\|character]`. `data_source` required in each record-group. A record-group without records from these `data_sources` will be `unlinked`.
`iteration`	The iteration when a record was matched to it's group (`.Data`).
`options`	`[list]`. Some options passed to the instance of `episodes`.
`episode_unit`	`[character]`. Time unit for `case_length` and `recurrence_length`. See `episodes`
`link_id`	`[integer]`. Unique reference ID for each match.
`pid_cri`	Match stage of the step-wise linkage.
