SwissASR 0.5.3

Last updates to align with the latest template and add a warning for special characters causing a problem in producing the Word report from R.
better handling of dates in metadata

Correction of template inputs, dates formatting and additional note for SAEs tables.

Modified the template of the ASR to align with the newest template available on the swissethics website. Main changes: update of the text in some parts of the template and inclusion of the transplant typology of trial.
Addition of an RStudio add-in which pastes a template asr call into the active R script. In RStudio, put the cursor in the desired file, click "Addins" and then "Add asr call template" and the template should appear. Using the guiding text, edit the arguments as appropriate.

Modified some bookmarks into word fields such that the replacement can still happen in tables and not after them, as per recent update of officer package. This resolves issue #9.
The above change requires use of the doconv package, which may require setting some permissions on MAC OS (for details see the doconv documentation), and may not work on Ubuntu systems.

Additional option to include an intervention (random allocation) variable into the line listing (option var_tx), which is sometimes requested by ethics bodies.
Addition of a logo

Addition of asr_dataprep and asr_safety_summary functions allowing for production of tables without generation of the MS Word report.
Reworking of the internals of asr to utilise the above mentioned functions.
Addition of demonstration dataset.
Line listing pages in the word template set to landscape.
