mp_check_for_copus_update checks if the currently cached version of corpus text and metadata
is older than the most recent version available via the Manifesto Project
DB API.

API key to use. Defaults to NULL, resulting in using
the API key set via mp_setapikey.
Consider only for versions marked as stable by the Manifesto Projec Team, defaults to TRUE
Cache environment
mp_update_cache returns a list with a boolean
update_available and versionid,
a character string identifying the most recent online version available
mp_which_corpus_version returns the current version id of the
corpus and metadata stored in the cache
mp_which_dataset_versions returns the names of the main dataset
versions which are in the cache, i.e. have been downloaded
mp_update_cache returns the character identifier of the version updated to
mp_update_cache checks if a new corpus version is available and loads
the new version via: mp_use_corpus_version. That is,
the internal cache of manifestoR will automatically be updated to newer version
and all future calls to the API will request for the newer version.
Note that this versioning applies to the corpus' texts and metadata, and not the
versions of the core dataset. For this see mp_coreversions
