Add StopId column to bus_departs() and use current date in the example.

Update to new package doc help page.
bus_schedule() now correctly merges both directions (thanks Prof. Moore!)
No longer calls unlist() on affected lines of length one.
Messages given instead of warnings when empty tibbles returned.
- These conditions are tested with no_data_now() and mockr::with_mock().

Covered most JSON endpoints as tidy data frames. Buses stops, train stations, next bus or trains, incidents, paths, routes, circuits. (#1)
httr::RETRY() in wmata_api() does not retry on 401, 404, etc. The purpose of this change is to primarily retry on 429 errors when too many requests have been made on a rate-limited subscription. Waiting should successfully retry.
Stops, Stations, Routes, and Lines saved as exported objects.
All functions accept api_key argument. (#5)
Calls are made using httr::RETRY() to deal with issues like rate limit. (#8)
Use the documentation and parameters in the official API documentation. (#7)
Convert all dates to POSIXct with UTC time zone.
Convert times to hms columns with values past midnight. (#6)
Removed parking_*() functions until a data frames can be made.
Removed rail_path() helper function. Keep only endpoint functions.
