vital 2.1.0

• Updated to work with fabletools v0.7.0+
• read_stmf() now takes username and password arguments, as the HMD now requires a login to download STMF data.
• model() now estimates models in parallel when the future package is attached, as in fabletools (the previous implementation never ran)
• interpolate() now works for FNAIVE(), LC(), FDM() and GAPC models (APC(), CBD(), etc.), as well as FMEAN()
• autoplot() now plots the age, period and cohort components of GAPC models (GAPC(), LC2(), CBD(), APC(), RH(), M7() and PLAT())
• tidy() now returns the coefficients of LC(), FDM(), FNAIVE() and GAPC models in long form (term and estimate, with the age, time or birth year to which each refers)
• LC(), FDM(), FMEAN() and FNAIVE() now give an error for unused arguments, so misspelled arguments are no longer silently ignored
• Many bug fixes, documentation improvements, more informative errors, and speed ups.
