readecb: Access 'European Central Bank' Data

Provides clean, tidy access to statistical data published by the 'European Central Bank' ('ECB') via the 'ECB Data Portal' API <https://data.ecb.europa.eu>. Covers policy interest rates, 'EURIBOR', euro exchange rates, harmonised consumer price inflation ('HICP'), euro area yield curves, the euro short-term rate ('ESTR'), monetary aggregates (M1, M2, M3), mortgage and lending rates, GDP, unemployment, and government debt-to-GDP. Each dataset has a dedicated function that abstracts away the underlying 'SDMX' key structure, so users do not need to know series codes. A generic fetcher is also provided for direct access to any of the 'ECB' 100-plus dataflows. Data is downloaded on first use and cached locally for subsequent calls.
