SAS Packages Framework, version 20241014

#SAS Packages Framework, version `20241014`

## Changes

---

The [%generatePackage()]{https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/blob/main/SPF/SPFinit.md#generatepackage} macro accepts two new code types:
- `DS2PCK` for Proc DS2 packages, and
- `DS2THR` for Proc DS2 threads.

Those two new types allow to add `PROC DS2` *threads* and *packages* to a SAS package.

---

The [%loadPackage()]{https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/blob/main/SPF/SPFinit.md#loadpackage} macro has new parameter:
- `DS2force` - when set to `1` an existing data set named the same as thread or package is overwritten by DS2 file.

While loading a package that contains `PRCO DS2` code, by default, if there already exist a SAS data set with the same name (which is not a DS2 thread or package file) a warning is issued in the log and the thread/package data set is not generated. To force overwrite, set the `DS2force=` parameter of the `%loadPackage()` macro to 1.

---

Minor updates and fixes:
- Proc `sql` "drop table" replaced with `fedsqsl`'s for data sets deletion.
- Proc `iml`, `fcmp`, and `proto` code blocks end with `quit;` statement.

---

[Documentation]{https://github.com/yabwon/SAS_PACKAGES/tree/main/SPF/Documentation} and [Hands-on-Workshops materials]{https://github.com/yabwon/HoW-SASPackages} updated.
