Gets individual response data for multiple waves.

1	get_ind_multiwave(dir, waves, vars, long = TRUE)

`dir`	The path to the directory containing the subfolders for each wave. This is named "stata13_se" when downloading from UKDS.
`waves`	A vector of whole numbers indicating the desired waves of Understanding Society data.
`vars`	A character vector containing the desired variables. Variables should appear in all specified waves. Variables should be specified without the "w_" prefix and "pidp" is included by default. If an empty vector is provided, all variables will be returned.
`long`	The format of the output. If TRUE, data is returned in "long" format with all variable "w_" prefixes removed and with a column to indicate the numerical wave of the data. Otherwise, data is returned in "wide" format with a column for each wave and variable.

A tibble containing individual response data for the desired waves and variables.
