AquaBEHER 1.4.0

🛠 Parameter Validation: An improved and more robust version of the
parameter validation checks, along with additional data quality and
validation checks for the seasFcstQBR function.
- 🔍 Input Validation: Checks added for hisYearStart,
  hisYearEnd, and the structure of seasRain and hisWSCvar.
- ❓ Null and Missing Checks: Added is.null and is.na checks
  for rainTerc and key data columns.
- ⚠ Unrealistic Data Warning: Warnings for unrealistic hisWSCvar
  values (e.g., values outside 0-365 days) and negative rainfall
  values.
- 📅 Year Filtering: Ensures seasRain and hisWSC match on
  years after filtering.
🧪 Testing Structure: Established testing structure using
testthat for the seasFcstQBR function.
📖 Documentation: Added a Seasonal Forecast section to the
vignette.

📚 Documentation: Improved documentation for seasFcstQBR.
🔄 Function Name: Changed the function name from seasFcst to
seasFcstQBR.
📝 DESCRIPTION File: Edited the DESCRIPTION file as directed by
CRAN.

Citation Information: Included citation details in inst/CITATION.
CRAN Downloads Badge: Added a badge for CRAN downloads in the README.
Data Quality Control: Introduced checks for data quality control and realistic values in water balance calculations.
Testing Structure: Established a testing structure for the calcWatBal and calcSeasCal functions using testthat.
Parameter Validation: Enhanced and more robust parameter validation checks for the calcSeasCal function, including:
Consistency Checks: Ensures all date-related columns (Year, Month, Day) are complete and free of NA values.
Date Validation: Validates onsetWind.start, onsetWind.end, and cessaWind.end as proper dates using lubridate::is.Date().
Range Validation: Ensures R-index values are between 0 and 1, and Soil Moisture values are non-negative.
Length Consistency: Confirms R-index and Soil Moisture have the same length as the Year column.
soilWHC Validation: Checks that soilWHC is a positive numeric value.

Package Imports: Now imports functions from terra instead of raster.
calcWatBal Function: Returns a list containing a dataframe and a list of warnings related to any unrealistic or adjusted values in the input data or parameters.
Wet Season Calendar (WSC) Parameters: Improved criteria for characterizing WSC parameters.

Error Handling: Enhanced error handling and warnings for missing and unrealistic data.
Consistency Check: Implemented checks to ensure that the maximum temperature is always greater than the minimum temperature.
Documentation: Improved documentation for better clarity and completeness.
Testing: Established a testing structure for the calcEto function using testthat
