In growthcharts/centile: Translate Measurements, Z-Scores and Centiles with the RIF format

#' Convert centiles into Z-scores
#'
#' Functions `z2p()` and `p2z()` functions are the inverse of each other.
#'
#' @param p A numerical vector with centiles.
#' @param scale The maximum of the scale. The default (`100`) returns for
#' percentiles. Set `scale = 1` to obtain probabilities.
#' @return A vector with `length(p)` elements containing centiles.
