README badges

Description

These helpers produce the markdown text you need in your README to include badges that report information, such as the CRAN version or test coverage, and link out to relevant external resources. To add badges automatically ensure your badge block starts with a line containing only ⁠<!-- badges: start -->⁠ and ends with a line containing only ⁠<!-- badges: end -->⁠.
