Release a version of the database to the OomyceteDB

This is an interactive function that walks the user through the steps needed to add a release of OomyceteDB to the oomycetedbdata package. The oomycetedbdata package is the source of the data for the OomyceteDB website, so this will effectively add a release to the website. This function will do the following things: * Validate that the database is formatted correctly, as described in the database format guide.

Show the version of the database to be released and any changes to the user for a manual check. * Either upload the release to Github or store/modify a version of the oomycetedbdata package on the local computer for manual upload.

Arguments

database_path	(`character` of length 1) The file path or URL to the spreadsheet with the sequence and taxonomy data, formatted as described in the database format guide. Default: `NULL`, prompt user if needed.
