Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the suppress_redcapr_messages argument for read_redcap() was not working appropriately
• Fixed a bug where read_redcap() would fail when select_choices_and_calculations was missing whitespace after commas (discovered by @camcaan)
• Fixed a bug where read_redcap() would fail for projects with a multiple choice field having duplicate values with the same label
  • Added a warning when REDCapTidieR detects this
• Fixed a bug where empty rows would appear in data tibbles in longitudinal REDCap exports for events containing a mix of empty and filled forms
• Fixed a bug where the forms specification in read_redcap() may lead to incorrect removal of data for databases with repeating events
