Create a simple features dataframe for combined EEZ/country boundaries.
The full resolution file will be named "EEZCountries.rda". In addition, "_05", _02" and "_01" versions of the file will be created that that are simplified to 5%, 2% and 1%. Simplified versions will greatly improve the speed of both searching and plotting.

A world EEZ/countries shapefile is converted to a simple features dataframe
with additional columns of data. To use this function, the file
"EEZ_land_union_v3_202003.zip" must be downloaded into the user's spatial
directory which is set with setSpatialDataDir(). The resulting file
will be created in this same spatial data directory.
