SAS Packages Framework, version 20201018

**SAS Packages Framework**, version 20201018:
- In the `%generatePackage()` macro new parameter `testResults=` pointing the location where tests results should be stored was added.
- Datasets provided by the `data` type can be reloaded with help of the `lazyData=` parameter.
- The way the dataset help is displayed was improved.
- In the testing process the note about quoted string length was turned off.
- Tests results (i.e. `log` and `lst` files) can be redirected to a different location and are stored in directories named: `test_packagename_yyyymmddthhmmss`.
- Documentation updated.

Packages recompiled with the new version of the SAS Packages Framework:
- SQLinDS (version 2.2)
- macroArray (version 0.6)
- DFA (version 0.2)
- BasePlus (version 0.7)
- dynMacroArray (version 0.2)

 A **SAS package** is an automatically generated, single, stand alone *zip* file containing organised and ordered code structures, created by the developer and extended with additional automatically generated "driving" files (i.e. description, metadata, load, unload, and help files). 
 
 The *purpose of a package* is to be a simple, and easy to access, code sharing medium, which will allow: on the one hand, to separate the code complex dependencies created by the developer from the user experience with the final product and, on the other hand, reduce developer's and user's unnecessary frustration related to a remote deployment process.
