retrography/pRDS: pRDS

Uses existing parallelized system commands to read and write compressed RDS files efficiently. The package's main functions override `readRDS` and `writeRDS` from base to introduce parallellized versions using the existing system commands including `xz`, `lbzip2`, `pixz`, `pxz`, `pbzip2`, `zstd`, and `pigz`. The functions search for the appropriate compression software in the host system's path and if found, offload the handling of compression and decompression taks to the external program.
