Adding new formats to read

[cimentadaj]

Currently, opendataes can only read csv files through a very manual approach (that is, it doesn't streamline to different formats, this would have to be implemented). As the package evolves we would want to include more formats but in a very organized fashion. For that, the first idea that comes to mind is building methods around the most common formats. That is, our usual read_generic that identifies which function to use to read the data (currently hardcoded to be csv) could be a method that dispatches to an already defined function such as readxl::read_excel, etc..

This is something that will be inevitable once that package starts adopting new formats, so I'm leaving this here for future reference (and if someone wants to tackle this).
