Install a Maryland Open Data Portal API Key in Your .Renviron File for Repeated Use

Description

This function will add your Maryland Open Data Portal API key to your .Renviron file so it can be called securely without being stored in your code. After you have installed your key, it can be called any time by typing Sys.getenv("MARYLAND_OPEN_DATA_API_KEY") and can be used in package functions by simply typing MARYLAND_OPEN_DATA_API_KEY If you do not have an .Renviron file, the function will create on for you. If you already have an .Renviron file, the function will append the key to your existing file, while making a backup of your original file for disaster recovery purposes.
