In PolMine/trickypdf: Turn tricky pdf into txt/xml for corpus preparation

v0.1.2

• the utility function pdf_to_xml() is now the worker to convert pdf documents to xml;
• invalid xml (happens occasionally) is repaired using xmllint --recover, if availably (issue #3)
• bug fix (issue #2) - PDF class can now process one-page-documents
• bug fix (issue #1) - whitespace in filename does not cause crash
• missing whitespace when concatenating lines solved
• Unit tests adapted to conform to new handling of whitespace
• Package 'knitr' has been moved in DESCRIPTION from "Depends:" to "Suggests:", which is the usual practice.
• Package 'magrittr' has been dropped from 'Dependes:' in DESCRIPTION; code using magrittr has been reformulated to avoid using magrittr within a package.
• Christoph Leonhardt listed as package author.
• To overcome the dependency on the Rpoppler package, which has become inhibiting on the portability of the package, usage of the function Rpoppler::PDF_info() has been replaced by a reliance on pdftools::pdf_info() and pdftools::pdf_pagesize(), respectively.

v0.1.1

• bug in method $get_pages() removed that occurrs when there are not text nodes on page
• bug removed when adding boxes to existing box data.frame
• vignette explains scenario of two column layout now (using two approaches)
• moved to R6 class system, replacing reference classes
• columns "page" in field $pagesizes and $boxes renamed to page_node (to avoid confusion)
• remove_page-method added to PDF class

v0.1.0

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
