Breaking changes

Functions for downloading data have been renamed to follow the
convention object_verb() (see
https://devguide.ropensci.org/pkg_building.html):

  - get_gb() -> gb_get().
  - ?get_gb_adm family -> ?gb_get_adm family.
  - get_gb_cgaz() -> gb_get_world(). gb_get_cgaz() is also available for
    backward compatibility as an alias of gb_get_world().
  - get_gb_meta() -> gb_get_metadata().

Additionally, the metadata argument has been removed. Use
gb_get_metadata() instead.

Other changes

    .geojson/.gpkg, removing the geojsonsf dependency from Imports.
  - All download functions now return MULTIPOLYGON geometries.
  - All download functions now fail gracefully when a country file is
    unavailable, without errors or warnings.
  - All download functions now retry transient request failures with
    httr2::req_retry().
  - Cached files from previous package versions are no longer reused
    because the source file format changed.
  - Country matching now improves detection for Antarctica and Kosovo.
  - gb_get*() functions now allow mixed country argument types, such as
    gb_get(country = c("Germany", "USA")).
  - gb_get_adm5() was added.
  - gb_get_max_adm_lvl() was added.
  - gb_get_world() now gets the latest data available from the
    repository at
    https://github.com/wmgeolab/geoBoundaries/tree/main/releaseData.
