STATcubeR 1.0.1

• now depends on R >= 4.1.0
• Examples are skipped when the OGD server or the 'STATcube' REST API is not reachable or serves an intermediate page (e.g. during maintenance work) instead of failing with an error (CRAN check).
• Network functions (od_table(), od_list(), od_revisions(), od_catalogue(), sc_table(), sc_table_custom(), sc_table_saved(), sc_table_saved_list(), sc_schema(), sc_info(), sc_rate_limit_*()) inform via a message and return invisible(NULL) when the server is not available, instead of failing with a cryptic parse error. The target server (ext/red/prod) is derived from the requested dataset and reported in the message.
• od_cache_update() and sc_check_response() detect html responses (e.g. maintenance pages or firewall rejections) and report an informative error.
• New (internal) availability checks od_server_reachable() and sc_server_reachable(), cached per R session. sc_server_reachable() validates the server argument via match.arg() and checks every server (ext/red/prod/test) instead of assuming internal servers are reachable.
