In ShadeWilson/ihme: Functions for Improving Life at IHME

Description

Check if a locally downloaded package for use on the cluster is up to date with the lastest version available. Works for a package hosted on either the CRAN or on Github. For checking mutliple packages at once, use check_package_all(): a wrapper for check_package that allows you to pass in a character vector of multiple packages
