In irwinsnet/firstapiR: Tools to Download and Convert FIRST API Data to R Data Frames

Debugging Notes

1. In firstapiR_main, line 606, expected that the dataframe would have a column named "Teams", but instead column is named "teams". Appears that FIRST changed from title to lower case for this label name.
2. Also in firstapiR_main, in GetMatchResults and GetScores, converted first character of column names to lowercase to adjust for capitialization changes made by FIRST.
3. Made same change ("Teams" to "teams") at the following locations:
4. GetHybridSchedule(), lines 751, 752
5. GetMatchResults(), lines 924, 925
6. Many changes made to tests.
7. Error messages have changed slightly since 2016. Tests that check for expected errors no longer check the exact text returned by the message, just that an error occurred.
8. Some conditions that used to result in a 304 message (Not Modidified) now return code 200 with no data.
9. Session objects were not defaulting to current year for season, but tests require season to be set to 2016 to pass.
