- modifications in the `%generatePackage()` macro,
- new parameter in `%loadPackage()` and `%installPackage()` macros,
- new code added in loading test.
Fixes:

SAS Packages Framework, version 20230112
In the `%generatePackage()` macro:
- A `packageGenerated` macrovariable added to packages metadata.It contains timestamp when the package was generated in the ISO8601 form (`YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss`) The variable is from now on used the log output for headers in lading, help, preview, etc.
- Diagnostic messages for loading required packages extended.
- Help info updated for macros dedicated to CASL UDFs and IML modules loading.
- SHA256 hash digest for the package is calculated in two versions(types). Type `F` generates digest for whole package zip file. Type `C` generates digest for package zip file content. For developer convenience both digests are generated and displayed. Details are available in the [documentation](https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/tree/main/SPF/Documentation).
The `%verifyPackage()` macro adjusted to new digest types. For the backward compatibility verification works also of packages generated with previous versions of SPF.

## SAS Packages Framework, version 20221125

### Changes in `%generatePackage()` macro:
- Bug fix on the edge between cherry picking feature and loading required packages.
- Documentation updated.
---
### The following packages were regenerated with the latest version of the SAS Packages Framework:
- BasePlus [1.17.3]
- DFA [0.5.3]
- dynMacroArray [0.2.3]
- GSM [0.20.3]
- macroArray [1.0.3]
- SQLinDS [2.2.3]
## SAS Packages Framework, version 20221121
---
### New feature of "Cherry picking" added to the SAS Packages Framework.
Sometimes a package offers so many features that the number may be "overwhelming".
In such case only some of them may be selected for loading. Such process
is called a "cherry picking". The feature is provided by the `%loadPackage()` macro
which uses a `cherryPick=` parameter (see description below).
For example, execution of the following code:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
%loadPackage(BasePlus, cherryPick=rainCloudPlot getVars)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
results with loading only the `rainCloudPlot` and the `getVars` elements.
If several object types (e.g., a macro and a format) share the same name
all will be loaded.
What is the trade-off?
- Since the cherry picking selects only a part of the package the `SYSloadedPackages`
macrovariable is not updated with the package name.
- Dependencies i.e., packages from the `ReqPackages` list, are not loaded automatically,
so they have to be loaded manually.
- The `%unloadPackage()` macro executed on such partially loaded package may issue
some (irrelevant) warnings.
---
### Changes in `%loadPackage()` macro:
- New `cherryPick=` parameter added to the macro.
As a value a *space separated* list of selected elements
of the package to be loaded into the SAS session is expected.
Default value of an asterisk (`*`) means: "load all elements of the package".
Empty list is equivalent to default.
- Documentation updated.
### Changes in `%generatePackage()` macro:
- Code adjustment for the cherry picking feature.
- Minor additional code refactoring.
- The `%ICEloadPackage()` macro does not support cherry picking.
---
### The following packages were regenerated with the latest version of the framework:
- BasePlus [1.17.2]
- DFA [0.5.2]
- dynMacroArray [0.2.2]
- GSM [0.20.2]
- macroArray [1.0.2]
