pacman 0.5.2

Removed vignettes and tests because having pacman install violates CRAN policies.

'p_install' and dependent functions now use *BiocManager* to install from Bioconductor. Thanks to Garrick Aden-Buie for this update.

R version 3.4.0 cause ‘p_install' to result in an error: 'Error in readRDS(dest) : error reading from connection' as noted by @arbelt in issue #90. This was rectified in thanks to Albert Wang’s pull request (see issue #91).

'p_xxx_gh' functions pick up a'dependencies = TRUE' argument to automatically install necessary dependencies in the same way 'install.packages' defaults to install dependencies (See issue #75).

Support for Bioconductor packages added compliments of Keith Hughitt. See #62
'p_boot' added to generate a string for the standard **pacman** script header that, when added to scripts, will ensure **pacman** is installed before attempting to use it. **pacman** will attempt to copy this string (standard script header) to the clipboard for easy cut and paste.
'p_version_cran' ('p_ver_cran') added to check R/package version currently available on CRAN.
'p_version_diff' ('p_ver_diff') added to determine version difference between a local package and CRAN.
'p_old' added to search for outdated packages.
'p_install_version_gh' and 'p_load_current_gh' added as partners to 'p_install_version' for GitHub packages. Thanks to Steve Simpson for this: https://github.com/trinker/pacman/issues/70

'p_functions' sorts the functions alphabetically before returning them.
'p_path' now takes a package as an argument, allowing the user to return the path to individual packages as well.

'p_version' returns a numeric version for 'p_version("R")' to allow for logical comparisons.
