bdc 1.1.5

Move {doParallel} from Suggests to Imports (Thanks, @black-snow; PR #251).
Minor adjustments in bdc_correct_coordinates for improved functionality.
Debugged bdc_quick_map: updated dependency handling for the dplyr package.
Enhanced bdc_country_standardize function: added an internal function to improve country name checking and standardization.
Deprecated rgnarspser lifecycle. Added a tutorial on the bdc website (https://brunobrr.github.io/bdc/articles/help/installing_gnparser.html) with installation instructions for gnparser on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Updated bdc_parse_names documentation for clarity.
Updated bdc_create_figures: removed outdated dependencies (sp, rgeos), debugged functionality, and added a new "hex" argument.
Updated README file.

Adaptation of the databases to the latest version of {taxadb} (0.2.0), temporarily discontinuing the tpl, fb and iucn databases (see here).
bdc_query_names_taxadb() now informs the database provider and its version and does not create Output directory when export_accepted=FALSE.

Fix database version in taxadb::td_create inside the bdc_query_names_taxadb.
Remove deprecated dplyr::mutate_all by dplyr::across in the bdc_coordinates_empty.
Improve tests for bdc_coordinates_empty.
Little refactor in bdc_clean_names fixing CRAN issues with encoding characters (hiding characters into a file and reading them when needed).

bdc_country_from_coordinates now filter out countries with no data (NA).
Fix a minor issue of bdc_clean_names character encoding on debian-clang CRAN server.

Bugfix in bdc_country_from_coordinates() reported in #209.
New argument added to function bdc_coordinates_country_inconsistent
Improve tests
Add messages when no data is available to create figures and report
bdc_coordinates_from_locality: adding an error message when there is no column named locality
bdc_country_from_coordinates: adding a message when there are no records missing country names. Avoiding returning a NULL object.
bdc_create_report: adding coordinates transposed to the report; improve test and the message returned
bdc_clean_names: adding code to remove strange characters (e.g., accents) from names, and returning a message when these characters were not automatically removed.
Remove the first column (id) of interactive tables in vignettes
Add rlang (>= 1.0.1) to suggestion in the DESCRIPTION file
bdc_coordinates_transposed: avoid error when a column ".summary" is already present in the provided dataset
bdc_standardize_datasets: convert all columns to characters before merging datasets. Added a message to indicate which column names of the dataset were not founded in the configuration table (metadata).
