check_default_data_path checks if a default data path is set, and prompts the user to set it if it is missing.

get_default_data_path gets the value of the data path environmental variable

use_default_data_path has 3 steps. First, it checks for the presence of a pre-existing setting for the environmental variable. Then it checks if the folder exists and creates it, if needed. Then it provides instructions for setting the environmental variable.

check_default_data_path(ENV_VAR = "MCSDB_DATA_PATH")

get_default_data_path(fallback = "~", ENV_VAR = "MCSDB_DATA_PATH")

use_default_data_path(path = NULL, ENV_VAR = "MCSDB_DATA_PATH")

`ENV_VAR`	the environmental variable to check (by default '"MCSDB_DATA_PATH"“)
`fallback`	the default value to use if the setting is missing
`path`	Folder into which data will be downloaded
