tiledb 0.19.0

This release of the R package builds against TileDB 2.15.0, and has also been tested against earlier releases as well as the development
version (#516, #521).

The validity map coding of nullable strings has been corrected: validity map values of one are now interpreted as valid/non-null for full compatibility with other TileDB projects. Previously written arrays with nullable strings can be read by setting the config option r.legacy_validity_mode to true; the option also permits to write to an older installation. A conversion helper script is provided in scripts/legacy_validity_convert.r. (#517)

Attributes can now be created, written and read from in (explicit) UTF8 types (and CHAR and ASCII already behaved correctly with respect to utf8 data) (#510)
Compilation under clang++ no longer complains about two unused member variables (#512)
Query conditions for character columns can now be expressed using the %in% operator and a vector of values (#513)
Use of TileDB Embedded was upgraded to releases 2.14.1 and 2.15.0 (#516, #521)
Safer checking of NAs in tiledb_config() to support R 4.2 conditional lengths (#519)
Query conditions can now be combined using & and | (in addition to && and ||) (#526)

The TileDB Embedded version is now used to determine whether a dampener is needed for the deprecation warning (#511)
One of the test data sets included with #517 has been regenerated under an older TileDB version in order to test on more systems (#523)
Documentation for Metadata accessors no longer states URIs strings are accepted (#527)
