Fixes #842, redundant with #843 UPDATE: To be merged into #843

Fix failing CRAN checks caused by download_map_data returning 403 Forbidden errors. To prevent this and avoid potential CRAN deprecation, download.file() now uses method = "curl" by default.

PR task list:

  • Update NEWS
  • Add tests
  • Update documentation with devtools::document()
