Important user visible bug fixes

.DollarNames, i.e. tab completion after $ works again in RStudio (issue #34)
issues #1 and #58 for baseline fitting
spc.NA.approx now correcly usesneighbours (issue #28)

as.hyperSpec converts a matrix (taken as spectra matrix) into a hyperSpec object
consistent treatment of imported files adding a column $filename.
In addition, all import functions now have names beginning with read. scan.* have been renamed and deprecated.

unit testing is now done with testthat in a way that combines the ease of assigning tests as attribute (directly after the function definition) while still allowing execution of the tests automatically and from RStudio.
unit tests for file import functions are now possible. The test file collection is not shipped via CRAN (as it is several 100 MB in size) nor in the .zip or .tar.gz packages but is available via git-lfs. Unit tests check whether those files are available and skip tests if not.
A thoroughly overhauled system of Makefiles takes care of building. This includes setting up a fresh clone of the repo in a way that is suitable for working with RStudio.
