read_crn

This function includes improvements to the <code>read.crn</code> function from the
dplR library. The principle changes are better parsing of metadata, and support
for the Schweingruber-type Tucson format. Chronologies that are unable to be read
are reported to the user. This function automatically recognizes Schweingruber-type files.
