Defines functions path_package

Documented in path_package

#' Construct a path to a location within an installed or development package
#'
#' `path_package` differs from [system.file()] in that it always returns an
#' error if the package does not exist. It also returns a different error if
#' the file within the package does not exist.
#'
#'`path_package()` also automatically works with packages loaded with devtools
#'even if the `path_package()` call comes from a different package.
#'
#' @param package Name of the package to in which to search
#' @param ... Additional paths appended to the package path by [path()].
#' @examples
#' path_package("base")
#' path_package("stats")
#' path_package("base", "INDEX")
#' path_package("splines", "help", "AnIndex")
#' @export
