CRAN Release 2.5.9

[brownag]

Plan is to make a CRAN release of soilDB 2.5.9 soon (before Stats class)

• Run spellcheck on docs
• Rebuild HTML docs
• Update NEWS
• Standardize rebuild process for fetchNASIS sample datasets loafercreek gopheridge mineralKing 30c8b02
• Verify new interfaces are ready to go live
  • MUKEY web coverage service (WCS)
  • ISSR800 WCS
  • ROSETTA API
  • fetchSDA_spatial: sapolygon (Survey Areas) and gsmmupolygon (STATSGO)

This CRAN release will NOT include new DBI/odbc/RSQLite generalizations of local NASIS functionality (see: #149 & #154). These can be expected in 2.6.x.

Anyone feel free to comment or add to above list.

Passing winbuilder with R-release. I am considering removing our custom CRAN test skip option .soilDB_testNetworkFunctions in favor of testthat::skip_on_cran() -- as it is easier to not have to remember to set that flag -- I am going to make that change and run against R-devel winbuilder.
