Read all the .csv files in a folder and format the data.

Description

This function reads all the .csv files in a particular folder. These files consistently contain identical columns, with variations only in location, day, and time. As a result, we can uniformly apply specific formatting to columns across these files.

Arguments

path_to_csvs	Path to the folder where the .csv files are stored
colnames	Columns to include in the results (as character). For more information go to readr::read_csv()
coltypes	Column specifications (as strings). See vignette("readr", package = "readr") for more details. documentation.
keep_format	Vector of column names, besides date_time, day and quadkey, that you don't want to convert to a number.
