[R-pkgs] A few new packages on CRAN

[Bob Rudis]

- ndjdon : Wicked Fast ndjson Reader

  Reads in ndjson significantly faster than jsonlite::stream_in(), flattens
each
  JSON record and returns a data.table.

- htmltidy : Clean Up or Pretty Print Gnarly HTML and XHTML

  C-backed package that includes the HTML Tidy library. Useful for cleaning
up
  HTML beyond what you get with the HTML parsing in the libxml2-based
packages.

  (v0.3.0 on github is a tad more robust and will be in CRAN later in
October)

  Uses libmagic (file.exe on Windows for the time being) to discern file
types.

  https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/wand/index.html

  (100% libmagic version coming later in October)

  Provides full access to the Google DNS HTTPS API and also toold to work
with
  SPF records. Great for validating your local provider DNS lookups and for
  generating features for cybersecurity machine learning.
