datapasta 3.1.1

Compatibility with {rstudioapi} emulation in VSCode.
Fixed Datetime handling for data piped to dpasta
Column names in backticks in piped tables now work as per clipboard. (Thanks @sharlagelfand)

Exported _format functions
Adds dt_paste function for pasting as data.table (Thanks @jonocarroll, #72, closes #70)
Row names are kept in data.frames and data.tables (Thanks @sowla)
Column names that are invalid are now handled with backticks (Thanks @sharlagelfand)
Fixes issue with commas inside character vectors getting wrapped on
data.frame (and data.table) print is much prettier and robust with all args and cols aligned on '='
zero row tibbles are supported with a fall-back to a tibble::tibble() call
all _construct functions now return input visibly
Fallback behaviour added to allow usage with remote R sessions like RStudio Server/Cloud, or ssh command line. See 'datapasta in the cloud' vignette. (Thanks @gadenbuie, @jonthegeek)

When pasting from clipboard it now attempts to guess if there is no header row, in the case where the clipboard is all data. If you're lucky it will create a default header for you when pasting (V1, V2, V3 etc.).
dpasta() will now handle tribbles with R classes that cannot be represented in tribble form. It falls back to their character representation. This works well for things like dates.
New addin: 'Fiddle Selection'. This is a kind of magic wand that can be waved over RStudio editor selections to: Reflow messy tribble and data.frame definitions, create c() expressions from raw data, and pivot c() exprs between vertical and horizontal format.
New addin: 'Toggle Vector Quotes'. Given a horizontal or vertical c() expr, it will toggle all elements between quoted and bare format.
Complies with new CRAN policy on clipboard use. You cannot write to the clipboard in non-interactive sessions with dmdclip() - Why would you?. Tests containing clipboard use are skipped on CI and CRAN.

Added a trailing newline after all pastes, this works much nicer for console output.
Fixed handling of backslashes. Relying on built-in function deparse() for escaping chars that need it.

Added the ability to parse objects from R and output as neatly formatted tibbles, dataframes and vectors with dpasta. The clipboard is not involved.
Added the ability to send these same types of objects to the clipboard formatted for markdown output with dmdclip.
Package can now operate in a close to fully featured way in editors other than RStudio. Output goes to console rather than cursor.
Added hooks for output customisation with _construct() functions that return the formatted output as an R character vector.
The decimal mark can be set for numeric data with dp_set_decimal_mark.
User can now paste natural looking comma separated lists as vectors, with automatic comma-splitting and whitespace trimming.

Added df_paste() which pastes a table from the clipboard using a nicely formatted call to data.frame() rather than tribble()
Better handling for empty lines that get accidentally copied onto clipboard with table. Gracefully ignored.

Added new addin 'Paste as vector (vertical)' to provide nicer formatting for long lists.
All addins now guess data types and format correctly in the source editor.
Empty rows in tables and empty cells in lists are formatted as NA's when pasting instead of being ignored.
Added vignette, automated tests etc in prep for CRAN submission.

Added graceful error handling on failed parse of text on clipboard to table.
tribble_paste() and vector_paste() now pastes NA's as unquoted, so R will parse as proper NA.
tribble_paste() can parse an paste table text copied from raw delimited file e.g. csv, tsv, pipe delimited, semi-colon delimited.
vector_paste() uses a space between elements.

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
Fixed the handling of NAs in tab delimited files which resulted in phantom NA columns sometimes appearing with tribble_paste()
