Download observations and metadata

Download observations and metadata to a directory. This function is the working horse for cbs4_get_data() and cbs4_get_observations() and has many of the same options.

  download_dir = id,
  ...,
  query = NULL,
  catalog = "CBS",
  show_progress = interactive() && !verbose,
  sep = ",",
  verbose = getOption("cbsodata4.verbose", FALSE),
  base_url = getOption("cbsodata4.base_url", BASEURL4)
)

...: optional selection statement to retrieve a subset of the data.
