New features

• All WFSs (provider, URL, version) are now listed in inst/extdata/wfs_providers.yaml. This separation of data and code hopefully makes it easier to manage the data and to use it consistently in different parts of the package (e.g. actual code and tests). Package internally, these data are parsed to an environment wfs_providers.
• get_municipalities() and get_zipcodes() can now pass extra-arguments (...) to underlying get_wfs_layer().
• Basic testing harness is in place using testthat and httptest.

Development related

• Municipal key rda files in data dir are now saved with compress = "bzip2" to reduce the size of the rda files.
• Decreased version number down to 0.1.0.9004 as this is a new package now.
• Decreased R version requirement to 3.5.0 as check was complaining about the previous version number (3.5.2).
• DESCRIPTION now defines knitr as the VignetteEngine for the package.
