SAS Packages Framework, version 20201101

**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20201101:
- In the `%generatePackage()` macro two new parameters `sasexe=` and `sascfgfile=` pointing the location of the SAS binary and the config file were added.
- The first points location of a *directory* where the SAS binary is located, if null (the default) then the `!SASROOT` is used.
- The second points location of a *file* with testing session configuration parameters, if null (the default) then no config file is pointed during the SAS invocation, if set to `DEF` then the `!SASROOT/sasv9.cfg` is used.
- Documentation updated.

Important: The default GitHub repository changed from: `master` to: `main`

The SAS Packages Framework available packages:
- `SQLinDS` (version 2.2)
- `macroArray` (version 0.7)
- The `%mcHashTable()` macro was added in the package.
- `DFA` (version 0.2)
- `BasePlus` (version 0.8)
- New macros added:`%dedupListS()`, `%dedupListC()`, `%dedupListP()`, `%dedupListX()`, and `%QdedupListX()`
- `dynMacroArray` (version 0.2)

New package added:
- MacroCore[version 1], a macro library for SAS application developers. Over 100 macros for Base SAS, metadata, and Viya. Provided by the SASjs framework (`https://sasjs.io/`).
