mkindsg class to hold groups of datasets

- D24_2014 dataset on aerobic soil degradation of 2,4-D from the EU
  assessment as mkindsg object with metadata
- f_time_norm_focus() to do time-step normalisation using the FOCUS
  method
- focus_soil_moisture data with default moisture contents at pF1,
  pF 2 and pF 2.5 for USDA soil types from FOCUS GW guidance
- Dataset generation scripts in inst/dataset_generation
- Depend on R >= 2.15.1 in order to facilitate the use of
  utils::globalVariables()
