soilDB 2.5

This is a release of soilDB with new functionality and documentation, updates to conform with aqp 1.19, as well as bug-fixes and other quality-of-life enhancements.

Notably: we are back on CRAN. Tests and examples have been altered to minimize likelihood of failure on CRAN check farm machines, which has been an on-going issue. By making tests that contact remote APIs skip if missing the nasis_local ODBC connection, we can effectively filter tests to run only on the local (work) machine.
