golfastr: Efficiently Access Pro Golf Data

Designed for quickly grabbing PGA Tour data. Includes a large data update with shot-level PGA Tour 'ShotLink' data, tee times and course setup, strokes gained, win probability after every hole, a what's in the bag database (WITBDB) of player equipment, an ID crosswalk between 'ESPN' and the PGA Tour, and logo image URLs. Leaderboards and hole-by-hole scoring come from 'ESPN' <https://www.espn.com/golf/> for the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, LPGA, DP World Tour and Champions Tour. Completed seasons are served from hosted files for fast repeated access, and data can be saved as RDS, 'Apache Arrow' Parquet or a 'SQLite' database.
