0.1.7 With case study on harmonizing Arab Barometer surveys

• Package moved to rOpenGov.
• Arab Barometer tutorial vignette.
• Transition to tidyverse 1.0+ with using the rlang .data pronoun, etc.
• Bug fix in harmonize_waves(): Date types are now correctly harmonized.
  -A new function, harmonize_var_names(), helps to systematically rename variables in a list of surveys. Conventional names to keep are returned by suggest_permanent_names(), and the helper function suggest_var_names() provides a simple wrapper around var_label_normalize() and suggest_permanent_names().
• A new function, subset_waves(), helps to subset a wave of surveys.
• harmonize_values() now accepts perl-like regex.
