Parse Investigator Names and Remove (Most) Non-Alphabetical Characters

Description

'std_names()' parses investigator names given in the teams worksheet into a standard format for matching with REDcap. It:

1. Replaces square brackets and curly braces with parentheses

2. Removes parenthetic expressions

3. Removes ordinal and numeric expressions

4. Converts 'NA's to text (for the next function)

5. Passes the intermediate to make_clean_names( case = "title", use_make_names = FALSE, transliterations = c("Any-Latin", "Latin-ASCII"), sep_out = " " )

6. Removes leading and trailing dashes

7. Removes extraneous whitespace

8. Inverts converted 'NA's (back to 'NA_character_')
