nflfastR 3.1.1

The argument force_rebuild of the function update_db() is now of hybrid
type. It can rebuild the play by play data table either for the whole nflfastR
era (with force_rebuild = TRUE) or just for specified seasons
(e.g. force_rebuild = 2019:2020).
The latter is intended to be used for running seasons because the NFL fixes bugs
in the play by play data during the week and we recommend to rebuild the current
season every Thursday.
Fixed a bug where update_db() disconnected the connection to a database provided
by the argument db_connection (#102)
Fixed a bug where update_db() didn't build a fresh database without providing
the argument force_rebuild
update_db() no longer removes the complete data table when a numeric argument
force_rebuild is passed but only removes the rows within the table (#109)

Added the new function build_nflfastR_pbp(), a convenient wrapper around
multiple nflfastR functions for an easy creation of the nflfastR play-by-play data set
Added a function that applies our experimental expected pass model, add_xpass(),
that creates columns xpass and pass_oe

More fixes for fixed_drive which was not incrementing properly on drives
that began following a timeout
Fixed more bugs in EPA and win probability on PATs and kickoffs with penalties
Fixed a bug where scoring probabilities weren't adding to 1 on field goal
attempts near the end of a half
Messages to the user are now created with the new dependency usethis
Fixed bug where plays with "backward pass" in play description were counted as
pass plays (pass = 1)
Fixed missing kick distance on touchbacks and blocked punts (#53)
Added the option fast (either TRUE or FALSE) to the function
decode_player_ids() to activate the high efficient C++ decoder of the package
