statcheck 1.6.1.9000

PDF files are now converted to text with the R package 'pdftools' instead of the external program Xpdf. You no longer need to install Xpdf or add it to your path.
statcheckReport() has been rewritten: the report now has an interactive results table and a clearer layout. Note: the argument outputFileName is renamed to outputFile.

Improved PDF conversion: characters that some journals typeset in unusual ways (e.g., =, <, -, chi) are recognized, and two-column layouts are read in the right order.
Fine-tuned HTML and PDF conversion to better read chi-square tests (including superscript 2 and Greek chi).
When statcheck() finds no results, it now uses message(), so the note is suppressed with messages = FALSE.
Unreadable PDF files now give an error from 'pdftools' instead of a warning and an empty result.
Tests now compare statcheck output against a file with manually extracted statistics.
The package logo is now a PNG file.

No longer give a warning when a minus sign is used as a dash right after a statistical test (e.g., "p = .09-we are very sad"). HT Lisa DeBruine!
Character substitution in PDF conversion no longer accidentally changes other characters, such as accented letters.

Added a new function trim() to quickly show the most relevant columns of statcheck output.
Simplified regular expression to detect chi-square test. There were some unused/unnecessary parts in the regexes.
Also recognize lower case n in sample size reporting in chi-square tests. E.g.: chi2(12, n = 323) = ...
Recognize "narrow non-breaking spaces" in HTML files. This was an issue in articles in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, especially in papers published in 2019

Fixed some CRAN issues: explicitly import the package stringi and fix package alias.
