#' Get cover types - A list of cover types used in GLIS
#'
#' This function accesses the api endpoint for cover types and returns
#' their names, descriptions and whether they're in use. It can fetch
#' the entire table of accepted cover type codes, or it accepts filter parameter
#' all=TRUE to return depreciated cover type codes too. No other filter
#' parameters are currently available for this endpoint.
#'
#'
#' See
#' https://intra.glis.mnr.gov.on.ca/common/cover_types/
#' for the full list of cover types
#'
#'
#' @param filter_list list
#'
#' @param show_id include the fields the 'id' and 'slug' in the
#' returned data frame
#'
#' @param to_upper - should the names of the dataframe be converted to
#' upper case?
