wdi2: Download World Development Indicators from the World Bank Indicators API

A modern, flexible interface for accessing the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI) API <https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/889392-about-the-indicators-api-documentation>. Similar to the existing 'WDI' package, 'wdi2' allows users to download, process, and analyze indicator data for multiple countries and years. However, 'wdi2' differs by relying on 'httr2' for multi-page request and error handling, providing support for downloading multiple indicators with a single function call, using progress bars to keep users informed about the data processing, and returning the processed data in a tidy data format in line with Wickham (2014) <doi:10.18637/jss.v059.i10>.
