[GRASS-stats] New package for R-GRASS interface

Since GRASS 8 has been released (current is 8.2), continuing calling the 
interface package "rgrass7" is misleading. In any case, rgrass7 suggests 
rgdal, which is nearing retirement. So rgrass has been created, and 
reached CRAN today. rgrass7 also works with GRASS 8, but will be archived 
when rgdal retires.

The new rgrass package now uses terra classes for data transfer. There is 
a new vignette showing how to coerce from and to SpatRaster and SpatVector 
to make adaptation easier. A second vignette describes various modes of 
use of the interface package.

Comments and questions are welcome here and as github issues.

Best wishes,

Roger
